choke of the artichokes # colour me photography challenge & BWW

I had red onions in mind for Priya's Colour Me Purple Challenge but then the choke looked so pretty that I decided on them instead. 

sending the first photograph to "The Colour Me Photography Challenge Series"  ~ Colour Me Purple , a photography event  at Priya's  place The Humpty Dumpty Kitchen. 

and sending the second photograph to the Black and White Wednesday #94. Black and White Wednesday is a Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar and this week Lynne of Cafe Lynnylu is hosting it.
