Inspiration and Information

I’ve often wondered what this beautiful fruit was. It grows on trees in my neighborhood park. Recently a friend mentioned ( where else, on facebook) that he harvests and eats it. It is the fruit of a Strawberry Tree, a Mediterranean shrub not related to strawberries.

Thanks Vinay Pohray, I now know a new tree. And thank you, Cathy Johnson, the ultramarine blue pencil is inspired by your sketches. Sometimes I think I sink way too much time into flickr and facebook. But my friends on both those platforms are such a great source of information and inspiration.
