All That's Left_DSC9288

I decided to try some indoor photography after finding the remnants of this gooseberry. I wasn't happy with the colours or lighting, but came up with this after a bit of editing in Picasa.

That is so clever.

Great choice to do this in B&W - the delicate tracery of the skeleton leaves stands out wonderfully against the black.

Its a Physalis or Tomatillo, I have grown these.

@amfrumbiddivurd yes its a Physalis, or Cape Gooseberry. Once you grow one you'll pretty much have them forever. Luckily I like the fruit.

I am trying to get caught up on posts to lightamateur and didn't realize this was one when I first looked at it. But an excellent example it is.
