A few more pics.

It's a natural honeycomb just outside our house. We never tried to extract honey from it. These bees are still thriving here.

Snowqueen, me love your shots. What a cool bird! This is India? Punjab?
Lovely pictures, Snowqueen! The spiderweb is delicate like a juwel.Quote:

Tyrion Cheddar, Danik, North Star, Thank you for your kind comments.
Nope, but you are close.Quote:

Lol Don't go that far, Tyrion Cheddar. Pakistan is the right answer.Quote:

What is the picture of, North Star?
I confess that at the beginning I didnīt know,what the picture was about. Then Snowqueen revealed that it was a watermelon and the last two pictures confirm it.Quote:

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.;). May I suggest that you all import your photos from the vegetable pictures thread? I think they will get more views here in this thread.
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. :pQuote:

Here's a picture of a plant in a pot with a shadow. https://goo.gl/photos/9BzFVHvPW9E4Wh4d8
I'm trying to move away from Photobucket and use Google tools, but I don't know how to make them show up as images here.
How odd, the plant is in shadow but casts a shadow on the wall...
I assume those are onions. Putting them in black and white makes one see them differently than one is used to seeing them.
Lol!They seem to be made of silver.
I took this photo of my lunch some time ago, at the local diner, where I frequently engorge myself. I am rather hungry at the moment and so am wishing I had one of these in front of me. Note the avocado, it's totally key, no turkey club would be complete without it. Note the toasted white bread and mayo. These elements are fundamental. Properly done fries. Oh boy, oh boy.

The picture is interesting (I havenīt had breakfast yet and, as the good guy you are, you provided the address of the place). A sandwich with avocado is something new for me, I shall try it out next. And what is that, that looks like a slice of melon? Got to take breakfast urgently!
Sorry, double post!
Wow, really nice pictures, guys.
I think I can also add a few.
