It's still raining and everything is wet. In the end I gave up and this weeks macro photo is a soggy Kaffir Lime. Kaffir Limes are more famous for their leaves which taste brilliant in a Thai curry. The fruit isn't good for eating or juicing so I don't usually bother collecting them (I'm a lazy gardener).
Don't forget to visit Lisa's Chaos to see her great macro shots of flowers as well as all the other submissions for this week.

However the fruit looks nice in the rain :-)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how great it must be to pickfresh leaves for cooking, all I might get here are very very dry and boring ones :-(

I've never heard of Kaffir Lime... nice learning something new, thanks! Great Shot... ummm I love Curry. My Cousin makes the best Goat Curry. Tasted it when they came to visit.
ReplyDeleteThat lime looks a bit like a green brain! And why gather the fruits if they don't taste good? Leave them and gather the leaves -- and make me some curry! Yum!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! It's unusual that the fruit is not the thing wanted, but the leaves instead. Very nice photo!
ReplyDeleteSuper macro!
ReplyDeleteLove that it is enhanced with the rain - nicely done.
Thanks for your visit. :)
I love the smell of kaffir leaves in my cooking!
