This week’s theme for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is dis·tort·ed
Distorted - Life is full of surprises!
dis·tort·ed: twisted; deformed; misshapen.
I grew this “distorted” tomato from seed, and although its appearance was misshapen and unappetizing when I bit into the fruit it was sweet and delicious. How often do we initially judge people by their appearance and not by their inner self?

Please leave a link back to your interpretation of “Distorted” in comments below.
Wonderful analogy!
I felt guilty because I nearly disgarded this tomato based purely on its appearance.
I like Ronnie’s comment below. sums it up well
“not judging people by their appearance – you should never judge a book by its cover, or a tomato by its skin!”
Wise words, Pip. Excellent picture. I wonder if I would have been brave enough to take a bite.
I did cut it in half first LOL just to check it was not an alien form hiding within a tomato…
Excellent! You came up trumps in the end. How very true not judging people by their appearance – you should never judge a book by its cover, or a tomato by its skin!
Excellent Ronnie – you’ve just created a new quote! I will add that to Twitter LOL
Great entry for the challenge! Had you discarded that tomato, you would never have known it’s sweetness. Just goes to show – first appearances can be very deceiving.
thanks Barb. I am natural curious so I cut it in half to see what it was like inside. The patterns were beautiful.

perfect choice for the challenge!
That’s pretty wild and a little scary. If a tomato can become so distorted, what about human beings with our great complexity?
It still served it’s function though. Good point.
thanks Christine. We have to look below the surface.
Still looks yummy!

I think it’s gorgeous! Not long ago I found a potato in the shape of a heart. A heart, really. It tasted fabulous
Nature is amazing
Very wise words, Carole. Lovely sentiment and illustration of one of the great realities of life.
It’s amazing what we can learn from nature!
What a wonderful way to remind us of a very important lesson to not judge others too quickly.
Your tomato gave me quite a chuckle. What a fun fruit it is. I’m glad it tasted well.
You picked a perfect photo for the challenge. Well done!
Thanks EC. I’m glad a kept the photo
I felt the tomato was a good way to illustrate the point. As they say a picture saves a 1000 words
When I first saw the top of the photo, it looked like a heart. As I scrolled down and saw the whole thing, it looked like a cluster of hearts. Great that you enjoyed it so much!
Hi Rose, I thought it looked like the ball of a foot and toes! NEver thought of a heart!

Good thoughts, PiP!
Thanks Nancy…
Wow! What a cool tomato! I want to grow a whole batch of these! Tell me your secret!
My secret? Is people are not always what they appear to be on the surface – you need to look beneath the skin

My word….what strange looking tomatoes.
Thank you so much for the visit while I was in hospital.
I bet it’s nice to be homw even if you did have to still cook MEx’s dinner the day you came out!
Sorry PiP it is not a horse fair at Pincho. My poor Portugese translation.Not sure what it is about. It says someone (cannot remember his name) may turn up!!!!. But it starts at 4pm. Pincho is Northwest of Bensafrim which is Northwest of Lagos

Hi Clara,
I wonder what it is… Maybe it is a singer.

Ohhh, a naughty thought came to mind when I saw this photo but I won’t go there…! I like what you wrote too, how true!
Naughty thought…Marcia shame on you!
Had another look at the poster it is a singer, Eurico Martins from Lagos.
Hi Clara did you go?
It looks like it was huge. You could make salsa out of that.
Hi Connie, it was pretty big! I think it was genetically modified!
