I think it’s now safe to say that autumn is creeping upon us. The days are getting shorter and the mornings and evenings are definitely nippier, laden with dew. The colours though are something else and there is a predominant pull towards things purple and kind of egg shaped.

Fresh purple {red skinned} figs are really a delicacy with perfect red globe grapes and pomegranates, chopped pistachios as illusions of fallen leaves, perhaps?






This eggfruit or brinjal really had me going. First it was a nice surprise to find it in the garden, as I was not familiar with this plant at all. Trying to capture this fruit, well there is still lots to learn of special effects and tricks of the trade as they say.





Looking for a different take on Easter? How about the egg-otic granadilla or passion fruit instead of a egg. Still harvesting these, filled with all the “good goodies”.


Here is wishing all family and friends and bloggers a very happy Easter. Take care and enjoy the break with 99% cocoa chocolates in moderation…

Just last night we were discussing granadilla's. Did you know that about a two years ago they were simply not selling? That was untill some company decided to rebrand them as 'Passion Fruits'. Sales have sky rocketed. We are a bit slow and still call them granadilla's but personally, I prefer that name.

I have also passed on Kreativ Blog Award to you. I hope you dont mind - see my link for details.
