Summer/Fire – Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge
When someone mentions the word, “Summer,” the word “food” would immediately pops into my head. Summer is the time for rapid harvest. I say rapid because if you don’t harvest it now, it will not be as sweet and juicy in a few hours. At least that’s been my experience with picking blackberries from the bushes in the backyard.
Summer is also HOT! It’s often close to 100-degrees where I live in Utah. Oh, and let’s don’t forget to mention dry. There’s news of raging wildfires just about everyday. Anyone is prone to getting sunburned, heat rash, and dehydrated. Therefore, every summer, I try to find ways to cool myself down – go underground into the basement, drown myself with ice, or go hike up the mountain into the woods with trees and rapid water flowing.
Both pictures were taken last summer.

Photo of the Day!
What is this man pulling? He is pulling ginger to make ginger candy, a specialty of the Zhangjiajie, Hunan region. I shot this on the second night of my recent road trip. I found it interesting that this ginger candy resembled nothing like the ones my mom buys in Asian markets in the U.S. Therefore, I must get some of these. In fact, I’ll show you another picture of these ginger candies as a bonus for today’s post.
After it’s been pulled long enough, the ginger is cut into bite-size pieces and hardened. The spiciness of the candy is dependent on the age of the ginger, the older the ginger is, the more spicy the candies will turn out. To be honest, I couldn’t take any of it. The candies were too spicy for me. I felt like my mouth was on fire.
