The joys, and the momentariness, of life.. If you mean to ask what the objects are, they're watermelon slices in a bowl.
Of course, if you clicked the images and saw them on Flickr, you'd note that they are titled Watermelon I, II, III & IV. That might have helped, too.

Watermelon, thanks for that. It can be bought in Northern Sweden but is very watery (surprise) and bland, and we don't eat it at all. Those pips in the last picture give it away.
Its the angle of this picture that gives it character, giving it a curious oval shape.
Me live in America where watermelon is abundant, and as I'm sure you all know, a staple of Southern living. What I didn't know until recently was that in Japan, where apparently they also grow sweet watermelons, it is a social custom when a group of people are sharing one to make sure everyone gets a piece from the center, which is the sweetest part.

Cool, TC. Yeah, that seems the prudent thing to do. I cut them in half and then slice the halves into spherical wedges.
Moving on to nectarines...
Nice composition in black and white.

Good choice, North Star. Me and nectarines are great pals. Closer than two...well, look at your photo and use your imagination. I consume them at an enormous rate. Sometimes the organic ones in the supermarket, which are locally grown, look OK, in which case I buy those. Of course, I wonder if the label 'organic' really means anything, at the supermarket level. Anyway, we do have some farmer's markets nearby too, and the one I use each summer has just opened for the year. They've got great nectarines and other fruits--and corn, which I love. Funny that they didn't open till this weekend. I think the fact that it was freezing cold till the second half of May might have something to do with it, like maybe their initial spring crop got wrecked. Hard to believe it was wintry like that in May, now that we're melting where we stand.

Cheers, Tyrion. Yeah, nectarines are just great.

They look more like themselves on this second pic.

Well I'll consider digging the archives here when I've run out of new photos to post

Glad to see you giving equal time to the women and the men, North Star.
