Red Onion – Peeling Layer 9

August 15, 2008

    From jagged peeling to cleaning out, with X-acto knife, the space in between the two sections. Seemingly nothing more to be peeled from the smaller section.

Red Onion Layer 8 – Peeling Away the Layers

August 14, 2008

In the issue of Picture to Ponder this week, the previous post on this blog, or accessible by clicking on PTP – Vol 4 – Issue 29 I wrote about racing through the layers of the rest of the onion in one sitting to “get to the end” of the project. In [...]

Red Onion – Peeling Layer 7

August 11, 2008

Most of Layer 7 Peeled from the Larger Bulb
 
Surprisingly the Layer surrounding the smaller section is thicker than that around the larger. Do we more tightly protect the smaller, perhaps the more sensitive, components of ourselves?
 
Both parts are still [...]

Onions Layers Amost Gone – Day 6

August 10, 2008

Fully exposed now, the onion.
Smooth to the eye and touch
Tightly held together
by the basal plate above the roots

Will require the knife, for sure,
To break into the skin.
I want a clean action on this smooth surface.
It [...]

To start peeling the layer on Day 5, the section I had started separating on Day 1 now opened up. The remaining piece that had held it to the onion was layer 5 and now it had to go. Reminds me of the rare times I allowed myself to feel that I was hanging [...]

My onion friend and I [...]

Peeling Away the Next Layer – Veggies Day 4

August 7, 2008

Once again, I started in immediately with my knife to peel the next layer. When I saw how I was scraping the inner surface, I immediately switched to gently peeling away with my fingers.
I wonder, “Is this how I treat myself (and others), immediately cutting in? What will be available as I become [...]

The middle and lower photographs are taken on the next day, as part of a project I started, observing the peeling of an onion as it relates to the peeling away the layers of [...]

Red Onion 2 – Veggies Day 3

August 6, 2008

Onion, Skin and First Layer at End of Photo Shoot Day 2
This was a fun and insightful experience for me. Briefly – Anxious to get into where I anticipated the beauty of the onion to be – viewing the patterns in the slices – I went immediately with the knife and started cutting into [...]
