Photoshoot with a Fig

Figs are a lovely and fascinating fruit. They are internally-flowering. In fact, they’re not really a fruit at all but flowers. Their innards, so chock full of life and movement, are rows and rows of inner-flowers, like eating a sweet, sweet bouquet. Besides playing a role in many faiths and worships, figs are high in my book of praises for their unique texture, sugary ooze and their many medicinal qualities. They have laxative effects, are loaded with calcium (the highest source in the plant world) and increase sperm mobility and production. What many-splendored little dollops they are! Besides this all, they’re beautiful, a testimony the the magnificent visual patterns and design within the natural world.
