Black and White Sunday – Cape Gooseberry

Cape gooseberry

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

Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I am Australian. To travel is to broaden the mind, so I travel whenever I can. I am an avid crime fiction reader, and enjoy travel photography, writing and a variety of cooking, crafts, and traditional art forms. Politically aware and egalitarian by nature, I have a strong environmental bent. Come and say hi!

    1. 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”

      2. 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.

  4. 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.
