Not a difficult one it but may keep you amused while I find something challenging.
What is it?
Look closely!
And the answer is… spooky bread dough!
So Nina was right even though she was 95% sure she was wrong.
There’s another shot of it in my food photos.
From memory it was the biga after a day or so of fermenting. I would have been making pane Pugliese or ciabatta.

What is it?
Have a guess! (Colour may be misleading.)
Update 27 Nov: Damn! Bill got it first go. It is a photo of a red cabbage cut in half. (No CATs were harmed.) Stick with your instincts Nina! The outer parts look very three-dimensional - like intestines as Kari suggests.
Red cabbage
A selenium tint was applied with some contrast tweeking.
Thanks for having a guess!

Remains
As the day fades away so do the gerberas. Once tall and alert, their stems now trimmed. They try to hold up their heads as sleep encroaches on us all. One quick photo before we retire for the night.

Rose harvest
Our roses have survived the recent high winds and are in their showing off phase.
'Let a hundred flowers blossom'
This climbing rose grew so much in early spring that it completely subsumed the handle that deploys the sun umbrella. One painful attempt to wind the handle by reaching into the roses made it clear that extensive pruning was required. So we now have an abundance of apricot-hued roses inside as well as out. A quick photo session ensued.

This is my assistant gardener, Finn.
Rose
The huge red roses on the opposite corner of the deck are also in full bloom. This shot has been filtered to preserve the reds only.
