Botanical grazing

J.W. Fike's Photographic Survey of the Wild Edible Botanicals of the North American Continent series is, in a word, fantastic.

Jimmy Fike's photographs of plants that many people refer to as “weeds” are captured digitally in stark black and white, with the edible bits in luscious color. That is correct, the “weeds” are food—for humans! And they grow in many places, including urban areas. Fike stresses the idea of sustainability and our ecological future in these elegant images.

So, after getting an eyeful of Fike's photographic feast, resolve to stop spraying Roundup on the plants, and see if pineapple grass tastes as good as Fike makes it look.
