A Figment of Your Imagination

Fig… No, it really is tasty :)

 

Figs have a fearsome reputation as a natural laxative. It’s unwarranted I think, at least for fresh figs, which taste delicious and are no worse than other seeded or stoned fruit.

 

Needless to say this image was rejected by the fig marketing board. Shame really.

 

I took it for this week’s Macro Mondays group’s theme Remedy.

 

I’ve been eating figs from our tree all summer and have often felt that they would make interesting photographic subjects. So this one is not much of a remedy, more of an excuse to have a play with the camera.

 

And a tease of course. How could I resist? I nearly titled it Death’s Maw, but thought most people probably had enough imagination already :)

 

The image is about 2 centimetres across.

 

And they are tasty if you have never tried one. Fear not: you get to eat it in the last chapter.

 

Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image in some strange way… perhaps I shall hope in vain! Happy Macro Mondays :)
