What is That?

 


This is a cacao pod. When at Tirimbina Nature Reserve we took the "Chocolate Tour" which proved to be a thorough presentation of the history of chocolate and the nature of processing the beans. Later we took a tour of an old abandoned plantation. VERY interesting.

Yum. :)

I like what the flash has done to illuminate the pod, but yet you can still see the colors and detail in the background.

Thanks...I like it too. And by the way, that tiny little white blossom will one day become a cacao fruit.
