For Macro Mondays weekly project No 369: "Summer fruits". I hope I will be excused for showing this mandarine (also PiP) which is fresh in season here, as I imagine current seasonality is the intent of the theme (even though it's now winter here).

For Macro Mondays group 1/1/2024, topic #342, "Tasty" . New Year in the Southern Hemisphere is notable for all the great fresh fruits available. Cherries, such as these, are at their prime and very tasty indeed. Happy Macro Monday and have a happy and healthy New Year, everyone.

For "Macro Mondays" group topic #293, 23 January 2023 : Topic "Aufkleber / Sticker" Fruit such as this are currently fresh in our shops.

One of the pleasures of Christmas in Australia is that all kinds of fruit have just ripened, such as the lovely fresh cherries in this little bowl. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, with or without the fruit. Among all the carols and other ditties about Rudolph and such on the radio , we no longer hear this item from the brilliant Tom Lehrer, the lyrics seeming more relevant now than ever.

Satin Bowerbirds are native to eastern Australia. This is a female or young male - very different from the adult male (7 years +) which has a beautiful almost metallic blue/black colour. For those in other parts of the world, they are roughly the size of pigeons. They also are absolute dynamite at stripping fruit trees, as this one was doing in a neighbour's tree. Best viewed large, also see PiPs.

Wishing all my ipernity friends a very enjoyable festive season. In Australia, at Christmas we have a great range of fresh fruit, from watermelons and mangoes to stone fruit such as plums, apricots and cherries. I hope you'll also enjoy this Australian Xmas musical track.

These are the fruit of the Lilly-pilly tree, a native of eastern Australia. The actual size of these fruit is about 7-10mm and there are many such bunches on the tree (see note). A few months ago I showed the flowers. Although the fruit are edible I wouldn't suggest picking and trying one, they are mouth-puckeringly astringent. Cooked up with some sugar though, they make a very pleasant sauce. Explored.

All my very best wishes for an enjoyable festive season to all my ipernity friends. In Australia, Christmas is when the fresh fruit is at its best. I hope you'll also enjoy this great Christmas track which (to my surprise) is 60 years old this year. Best viewed on black.

Taken for the January 2015 monthly comp for the Prime Lenses (fixed focal length) Group, where the subject is “Close-up – Red”.... Get your entries in! Apart from the man in the red suit coming by not long ago, in the Southern Hemisphere one of the joys of the festive season is the wide array of seasonal summer fruit.

Fresh fruit: watermelon, pawpaw (papaya to you), plums, nectarines, mangoes.....
