1. Wow! So pretty

And Christmasy looking, too! Love the lighting.

5. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

It's funny--the light was precisely why I took this photo!

I love their color too. Very tasty!

2. Lovely pic

And I love the taste of them. Don't know if people know this but red bell peppers have three times as much vitamin C as an orange.

6. Thanks so much, my dear Doc Sportello!

I'm glad you like my photo!

We love the taste of these. And I knew about the Vit. C. Plus they're sweeter than the green bell peppers.

[Doc Sportello]

11. Yes, definitely better than the greens

I put that in about the vitamin C because I only learned about it a few years ago and thought people might like another reason to choose them. You obviously can garden as well as photog.

12. Thanks for your kind words! I used to garden, but at my advanced age, I no longer can.

So I go to Farmer's Markets and buy their produce, and practice my camera skills on them!

And good for you, spreading the good word on the red bell peppers' nutritional benefits.

7. Thank you for your kind words, my dear wendyb-NC!

It's pretty easy to capture photos like this since I always have my iPhone in my pocket!

4. Those look crisp and dandy!

Iron Chef host Chairman Kaga would eat those like an apple.

8. Thank you for your lovely comments, my dear Mousetoescamper!

When I was trimming them, I found out just how crisp they really are.

They'll be great once I stuff them!

9. Great photo, PC

Love the vibrant red peppers with their green stems. Christmas peppers.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Thanks so much, my dear gademocrat7!

I love the vibrant color and the way they taste! My family and I prefer them to any other bell pepper.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. That may be, my dear AllaNO1Bear! Thank you for your great remarks and smilies!

We did have 2 of them for our dinner tonight!

But I will always have the photos.

15. so tasty!

beautiful reds.

Poisonous to RA sufferers...have to incorporate in small doses.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thank you for your illuminating remarks, my dear justaprogressive!

They are yummy and wow are they beautiful!

I didn't know that about RA sufferers. That's a shame, but of course staying healthy is the most important thing.

17. Such cheery lighting, and cheery food

I ljust returned from the store with a giant red pepper, to sautee with onions, mushrooms, and cubed turkey breast in avacado oil. But yours from Farmer's Market look so much better and fresher.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Funny how our perceptions can allow us to see things differently than they are, my dear Bundbuster!

My bell peppers didn't come from the Farmer's Market!

I bought them in a little grocery store that shares the space with my local meat market.

I was impressed with how firm they are and how good they looked. I had just that morning decided to make my recipe for stuffing them.

So there's the truth!
