The Rhubard Chard leaves and stems have been calling to me for a while every time I go to the Allotment.
Normally i put things directly onto a scanner, but this wouldn't work for the Chard where the colours come alive when viewed with the light behind - so an old light box was pressed into service to try and capture the sugary saturated colours.
Sadly by the time i'd finished the chard was limp and unattractive so its been taken back to the allotment as compost - nothing wasted, but i'd rather have eaten it!
