Photographs of the fruits are so lively. Fruits looking fresh and tempting. One feels like plucking it right away and eat it. Great series of photographs once again.

wonderful set of the fruits... they look soooo palatable that our
local urchins go after them tooth and nail... not one to be had
around here... my neighbor hood and the boy's school compound and even
the ill fated AMRI hospital pavement has a few... but no fruits last a
day to photograph... such is life of a jungli jalebi...

Thanks for pics, at least...
