Delicate. As a former food blogger, it’s no surprise that the bulk of my photo library is pictures of meals I’ve eaten. And while I no longer deluge the internet with daily images of my dinner, I still use those photos when I’m in a lunchtime rut — sometimes a look at the colors or textures of a meal sparks my imagination.
I was doing just that today, when I couldn’t face the idea of eating a bowl of Wheaties for lunch . . . again. I kept returning to this image, of an asparagus and pea shoot salad with grapefruit, struck by the delicacy. Razor-thin shavings of asparagus. Dainty sprigs of pea shoot. Grapefruit segments ready to burst at the nudge of a fork. Delicate in appearance, delicate on the tongue, and delicate in flavor.
IN A NEW POST CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PICTURE THAT MEANS DELICATE TO YOU.
Delicate could be the tracings of frost on a window, a child’s tiny fingers and toes, the intricate pattern of a tree’s canopy, or something yet-to-be-discovered. So much of this challenge depends on your interpretation of “delicate,” and we look forward to seeing the range of images you capture.

New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Subscribe to The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS.
hhhmmmmm…. Lecker 🙂

What a delicious looking dish… Oddly, a few nights ago, I was taking photos of a blood red grapefruit I peeled to eat. It looked so good I photographed it… and now this. I don’t know if my grapefruit shots are post worthy but I’ll go check. TY! 🙂
