The fig tree is producing fruit, but sadly this one hit the dust, or more correctly the garden wall.
It was covered in ants and flies when I first saw it, just managed to catch one fly and an ant.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
A gatling gun crewed by sailors from HMS Active - these would see extensive action in the future war.
“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”

Decided to use my precious Fig & Plum layer cake to make a quick quilt for my daughter to use for her picnic scene for her engagement shoot. I used the free pattern on Moda's site - "Little Apples" by Aneela Hoey.
I have a fig tree that deposits hundreds of these leaves in my yard each year. There is something about the character of these leaves that make me want to photograph them no matter how cliché the idea of taking pictures of leaves. I guess I'm a rebel like that.
We came upon this Capuchin (Cebus libidinous) monkey after photographing Giant River Otters just around the bend. This little guy is from the same Capuchin monkey family that posed and performed high wire acts for us. However this one increased the level of difficulty by having his left hand clutch a cluster of figs, his right hand stuff his face with figs, and his tail steady his body so he can swing for more figs. The Little Glutton.

This is light painting with flashlights. The cave is a secret spot in the Cayman Islands. Two assistants lit the upper part of the big fig tree from hiding spots above the cave. Another assistant, Denise Bodden, lit me and the area beyond me (I'm the Indiana Jones looking guy), after which I could move about freely to finish painting the rest of the scene. This was on film with the Nikon F5, 15mm, F8 and full moonlight.
Nature has claimed the head of a Buddha statue near the entrance to the ruins of Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya, which is part of Ayutthaya Historical Park. Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of the southern Kingdom of Siam from 1350 until it was sacked by the Burmese in 1767. Scattered around the temple are some important remains.
