Most of Layer 7 Peeled from the Larger Bulb
Â
Surprisingly the Layer surrounding the smaller section is thicker than that around the larger. Do we more tightly protect the smaller, perhaps the more sensitive, components of ourselves?
Â
Both parts are still together. Per my fears expressed here yesterday, I find it interesting that it never occurred to me to trust that the basal structure (in onion language) would, in fact, keep the parts intact. Â It was difficult to peel off the layers between the structures. Note the resulting bruising.
Â
 The onion with all the pieces peeled away this seventh day. I love the way the smaller section, though apart, curves over and looks down on the larger part of itself.

Sheila,
Photos of onion 8/12 – who knew an onion could be so “artistically” beautiful?
the photo with the black background and the one you used the special technique on are really lovely. I won’t look at this rather common vegetable in quite the same way ever again. Your commentary also provided a great deal of food for thought today.
Appreciatively,
Lauren
