A halved avocado with wine and cheese. Yum! — Photo by JoAnn Ryan

An unlikely situation you say? Ok, perhaps. Do they even have alligators in Atlanta? Does it stay too warm in the winter for leaves to fall there in autumn? (I’ve only visited Atlanta in the summer, so really can’t be certain.)

Am I just being too silly for words? What I really wanted to do was create a great excuse for amassing together a few of my favorite photos starting with the letter ‘A’.

Avocados

People seem to love ’em or hate ’em. I’m a huge avocado lover, and love photographing them just as much as I love eating them.

The colors themselves are interesting, don’t you think? Such a pleasing array of greens and yellows paired with the earthy tone of the pit. Throw in some good quality gouda cheese and some cheap “wine”.

What I was really doing here was pretending to be a famous food photographer!

The best thing about shooting food is that you can then eat your photo subjects. Yum!

Apples
