Cantaloupe, 23 July 2026

One photograph from the 2026 season.

A melon fruitlet on 23 July, furred so densely that the hairs stand out as a halo round its whole outline and the pale green shows through only in the middle, the spent flower still twisted onto its tip and the vine bristles glowing against black.
