Alll the fruit

 

All the fruit on a tray minus the mango we ate! There are two varieties of bananas, limes I picked, a green-skinned orange, red plums, peaches and grapes. In the background, anchoring the whole composition, is a yellow honeydew melon set against a cobalt blue-painted wall. People take for granted just how good the fruit is here, and painting it in bright Brazilian sunlight really made the image pop off the page.
