Not a great shot, it was a dark, rainy day, but it's a hummingbird, sitting under a pomegranate!!!!

I've just been "shelling" (is that the right word?) pomegranates. Well, one in particular, a whopping 500gram-er. DEEP blood red juice when I cut it in half. Then I went to break it into smaller bits and arils shot every which way, all over the counter and kitchen floor. Finding them all took ages, while the cutting board and counter were reddening quickly.
I changed my top, put a towel on the floor (I should have put 2 down) and went back to work. The trick is to face the arils DOWN as you tear them open, but even that is not foolproof.
Still, a container full of arils is now in the fridge, with 3 more pomegranates to go.
Maybe making juice from this lot would be a good idea.
