Ampalaya seeds (I think in English it's called bitter melon?) that my dad is trying to dry before planting. After his lemon tree failed (somehow it got taken over by mum's tomato plant) I think he's really determined to make something of his own work in the garden. The colour is exactly how they look in real life (I barely played with these on Photoshop) and as they dry the fleshy salmon skin turns deep blood red.
I'm spending easter holidays in Tasmania so, there's a fair bit of quick packing to do, but I just wanted to thank everyone for all the lovely comments here and on flickr about my prints. Special thanks goes out to sweet Maditi for her very helpful advice! :)

I loved the images you posted.
Oddly enough, they look a lot like king crab legs!
Gorgeous images! And so glad that you linked to Michelle Armas's work - she's a lovely artist. Enjoy a wonderful holiday away!
Amy - Thank you! I'm more than happy for you to link me, and I will too. You blog is wonderful!
Jessica - I'm glad you like the photos. And how could I not shout out Michelle's work... it's too beautiful to resist. :)
amy - Now that I look at them again I totally agree. Although... they taste pretty awful compared to crab legs. Sans shell of course! ;)
