First fruit from my garden. It reminds me of being a child and playing in my Grandmother’s garden, where Gooseberry like this grew wild. The paper cases are a delight to pull apart and inside you will find a delicious berry.
Taken and adjusted slightly with Moldiv and the Nexus 4 Phone camera for Paula at Black and White Sunday

Something to Ponder About

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, I enjoy photography and craft, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

This is the Cape Gooseberry, or Peruvian Groundcherry. Physallis peruviana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz4hyj6Qrw8
A little tarty but not as sour as a lemon.

it is an effect on the camera phone. I tuned the image to darken it a little on several spots. It was actually lying on its side, but the background is so dark you can’t make it out and it looks like it is leviatating. I think most software programs or apps have “selective tuning”

I was totally bamboozled by camera apps and manipulating pictures until I did the snappy happy challenge (you can find it in my old posts if you want to check) as this really made me use them each week and I learnt so much. Moldiv is the app (free download on my smart phone) I used to stitch the photos together in a collage.

I like nostalgia and your editing gives the photo a nostalgic feel. I have never had this fruit. I have now found out it comes from South America. It is important to cherish our precious memories and I am always touched when people decide to share them. Thank you, Amanda.
