The practice of mindfulness in the most mundane tasks of the everyday opens my eyes, even to the washing of vegetables for a salad. Stalks of kale rinsed and placed in a colander to drain, beads of water amongst the veins and spine of the leaf magnify the beauty that is.

I was just reading an article that says it is good in moderation, some people overdoing it with the juicing thing are coming up with hypothyroid problems.

Kale has such strong leaves with the prominent veins and spines. You’ve captured them beautifully with the lovely touch of droplets of water. Happy Phoneography Monday!

I’ll be rummaging through the produce aisle inspecting other leafy vegetables to compare; kale is quite assertive in its presentation. Happy week!

As old as I am, I’m embarrassed to say this is the first time I’ve used kale. I’m in love with it visually and to eat too. Delicious in this salad I made. Give it a try.
