Ah Shucks, Ma’am….
A silly photo for this first Saturday of December. (:
I took this image back in September, when I was at the well-known Santa Fe Farmer’s Market. I was looking for photos of shapes to take with my macro lens, and I found a mound of chiles (that’s how we spell it here) in a bushel basket.
I looked through my viewfinder, trying to find interesting shapes and compositions, and saw this intriguing chile. I composed an image which to me looks like he’s blushing over something the other chile said. “Ah shucks, ma’am….”
Hope there is some silliness to your weekend. (:
Taken with my 105 mm macro lens at f/4.0.

Thanks, Mufidah.
That pepper sure does have an interesting shape. Nice capture!
Thanks, Nicole!
Tee hee. GREAT eye Katie!!! This makes me chuckle
Glad it made you chuckle, Charleen.
heh. Very cute. I would say that personally it looks more like a Chile Pepper Facepalm to me. His little arm seems to be smacking him in the face. I almost hear him saying, D’oh!
Everyone sees things differently.
Ha! Great shot!!
Thanks, Adrienne!
Too funny! Didn’t know red peppers could have a personality. Nice shot!
Thank you! Glad you liked the photo and thanks for visiting my blog.
Nice one
Love that, and great colours
Thank you, Filipe!
I think someone just told him his best mate has been used in a curry!
Ah, poor fellow! I have another shot where he looks really downtrodden, which fits this current comment. Great one, Jude!
I love this! Perfect!
Thank you so much!
Ha Ha this is the perfect title for this post ! Super Katie!
Thank you, David!
Ooooh spicy!
Love the shot!
LOL! Perfect comment, Jenna. Thank you!

Thanks, Cin!
Cute! I’m not sure I would have seen that.
Thanks, Danita! I had to really look to find this composition among all the other peppers.
Wonderful! There’s nothing better than a little heat in December.
LOL! Perfect.
That made me laugh. Wow! LOL
Great interpretation Katie. Very very cute, and such a sweet title.
Oops I forgot in all the laughing, great shot as well. Hehehe.
Ah, glad this made you laugh, Nandini!
This made me laugh out loud. What a great capture! Your title fits perfectly. How perfect that you found a chile that appears to be blushing – chiles being red and all.
One of the best photos I’ve seen by you yet! Excellent!
Ah, that’s the response I was hoping for, Jenna!
So glad you liked this one.
Great caption!
Thanks, Roberta.
Cute! I just planted my second lot of chillies yesterday so hoping I’ll have lots of these guys soon!
I brought in two chile plants for the winter, so I could have some of those chiles. Hope you get a good crop, Janette!
wonderful macro Katie!
Thanks, Cee!
Haha! That’s a great find. Very nicely done, Katie. Hope you are having a nice weekend.
Ah, thanks, Graham!
Haha, cute ánd funny.
Thanks, Dianda!
Hilarious! Proving once again that so much in life is about one’s perspective.
I agree, Matt.
Very funny, Katie,
Love the vibrant colours in this shot
I love those colors too, Victoria. Thanks for your comment.
That’s great!! Love it!
Thank you!
looks like worms when i try to view on a different angle.. ahahah!
the photograph is awesome
love reds! yay!
Thanks, Kath!
I like that you’ve found the strange and made it the focus – and funny
As an aside, I also have a macro lens (the Canon 100mm f/2.8) and absolutely love it, even for non-macro things. It’s so sharp and produces the most glorious bokeh. It seems you’re very fond of yours too.
Thank you! I agree a macro lens is good for other things besides macros.
I use my macro lens a lot.
Great picture Kate, definitely one that I would have missed. Really funny.
Thank you so much for the nice comment.
haha really funny!
)) Great shot!
LOL. Thank you!
Too funny! What a great eye you have!
Thank you so much, Susie!
I love this, such a whimsical photo
I love when you see things other people see
Very cute post

Wonderful ‘story’ to go with the picture’s ‘action’. Made me smile.
LOL! This is wonderful!
Thank you, KT!
Love it!
Thank you, Lily (and Alicia)! And thanks for visiting my blog. Love those cat comics of yours.
I love the human-like feeling of this image. As you said, like it’s blushing or holding in a giggle. Nice shot Katie!!
Thanks for noticing that, Steve!
lol…it does look shy
We call this thing as Cabe here, the main ingredient of most Padang Food.
Ooh, I’ll have to look into making some Pandang food then.
Nice & spicy
LOL. Perfect comment.

Thank you so much, Marina.

Oh, I love that thought about bowing and tipping his hat! Love it! Thank you for the comment.

Thanks, Kristina!
Super cute and creative
I have a macro lens I’ve been fooling around a bit with on my nikon, but can’t seem to get far from the digital macro on my elph!
I love macros. I hope you keep playing with yours!
That is funny.

Glad you like it, Rebecca!
That is just too cute. That’s why I’m going to buy me a small digital to carry with me everywhere … for moments JUST like this!
Ah, thank you!Yep having a camera around to catch fun things is a great idea! Thanks for your comment and visiting my blog!
A tip of his hat to the lovely photographer.
LOL! Oh, now i see that.
