Flower and fruit

I've been taking several evening classes lately on photoshop, going manual mode for SLR camera, and going to a camera club with Joy. I really enjoyed the manual mode class, I learned a lot on photography techniques.

Pictures of my fall flowers in bloom. The look-a-like Kiwi inside is an Asian fruit, grown by Larry's next door called the dragon fruit, it taste like a light melon with poppy seeds.
