2023 LAPC: Last Chance — Part I

2023 — A Year in Review — Second Chance/LastChance

Posting a Year in Review is something I have never done or dreamed of doing before. It is, however, a chance to reflect on the past year and reflect on the choices I’ve made. Why was one picture chosen previously, but not this particular one? Isn’t this picture worthy of being shared as well? I have decided to divide this challenge into two parts. Part One will be covering the first six months of 2023 giving a second/last chance to a select chosen photo from each month. In Part Two, I will dedicate to the last six months (including this one) of 2023 breathing life into previously passed over photos.

These are Collard Green Plants grown at The Gardens in The Farm at The Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia, North Carolina. Many people in the South eat Collard Greens on a regular basis. Personally, I did not grow up as a child eating Collard Greens even though I was born in the South. My mom never fixed them. Now we ate plenty of Spinach and other types of greens just not Collards. What are your thoughts on eating Collard Greens?
