I love Physalis. Both to eat and to photograph!
Physalis is characterised by the small orange fruit similar in size, shape and structure to a cherry tomato, but partly or fully enclosed in a large papery husk derived from the calyx.
The berry also goes by the names Golden Strawberry, Chinese Lantern and Cape gooseberry.
Not all Physalis species bear edible fruit. Select species are cultivated for their edible fruit, however; the typical Physalis fruit is like strawberries or pineapple in flavour, with a mild acidity.
Physalis fruit is a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, calcium and trace amounts of B vitamins.
These fruits contain 18 kinds of amino acids .
These berries are also abundant in polysaccharides, compounds that may help fortify the immune system.
Thank you for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

Painting by Marcello Scarselli on a garage door in Lajatico, Pisa, Tuscany, Italy.
After several consecutive Black and White images, I was craving some bold colours!
Marcello Scarselli is a well-known Tuscan painter and sculptor who lives in Bientina, near Lajatico in the Pisa province.
Lajatico is the birthplace of the famous Tenor Andrea Bocelli, who holds his annual event in Lajatico at the Teatro di Silenzio. This has transformed Lajatico into a mecca for artists who exhibit artwork around the town, attracting many visitors and improving the local economy.

Van der Pekbuurt (neighbourhood).
During the entire renovation of this neighbourhood, the historic appearance of the outside of the houses has been restored. The new wooden doors, windows and frames have the original colours from the 1920s: ocher yellow, dark green and red brown.
De Van der Pekbuurt is gebouwd tussen 1918 en 1926 en is daarmee een van de eerste tuindorpen van Amsterdam. Architect Jan Ernst van der Pek ontwierp de stedenbouwkundige en architectonische opzet in 1916. Rode bakstenen muren, geglazuurde gele bakstenen banden en portieken die uit de gevels springen kenmerkten het straatbeeld. De wijk geldt als beschermd stadsgezicht.
De woonblokken hadden door de vele aanpassingen in de loop der tijd hun oorspronkelijke charme verloren. Door kunststof kozijnen en verdwenen originele details zoals dakkapelletjes, tuinmuren en voordeuren hadden de blokken een armoedige uitstraling gekregen. Ook de originele kleuren waren verdwenen.
Binnen de gehele renovatie van de wijk is aan de buitenzijde de historische uitstraling van de woningen van de Van der Pekbuurt teruggebracht. Zo hebben de nieuwe houten deuren en kozijnen de oorspronkelijke kleuren uit de jaren 1920: okergeel, donkergroen en roodbruin (architectenweb.nl).
No one seemed to notice how truly beautiful this little tree was. In every season, it would display a kindly and honorable humility where it stood - between the farmer's field and too close to the road. Snow covered. Soaked with rain. Bathing in the summer sun. It was so beautiful to me.
Finally, after a long, hard life, my neighbor farmer cut it down so he could see his field more easily. It yielded to the chainsaw in 15 short minutes.
Over the past 19 years, I made many pictures of this old, little tree. This was the last one.
