Zapotec Pink Ribbed

After a typically stress-filled week in Golden, it's nice to get back home to California and enjoy the fruits of my labor. My tomatoes are all starting to bear ripe fruit. This particular plant is the Zapotec Pink Ribbed. It's a heirloom tomato first cultivated by the Zapotec Indians of Mexico. The Zapotec is a beautiful heavily ribbed dark pink fruit. Its pleated shape makes it very ornamental and its taste is non-acidic and somewhat sweet. Photos taken with K10D and the 50mm f/1.4 lens. Shot RAW and converted to jpeg using Photo Browser. No adjustments to image were made. And for those that are prone to pixel peeping, the photos in no way convey the taste of these Zapotecs (smile).
