I used to live in a sub-tropical zone, and we grew similar short fat bananas. So sweet!
You also have pomegranates? I have a massive tree, have to remember not to over-water it and to give it copper every now & then and we get delicious bright red fruit every year.

I have a small pomegranates tree, it only gives five or six pomegranates. This year the bananas are insane! Every tree has bananas!

Maybe one of my favourite fruits. We call them “figo da India”. It grows on a giant cactus called “Piteira”, mainly in the summer. There are lots of them in the south of Portugal.

I think we have these, too, only we call them nopales or prickly pear cactus. The fruit turns reddish to bright red when ripe. I see them downtown in Santa Cruz, and I've been tempted to swipe a few pieces when no one's looking.

Never realised you can eat them.

You may be able to try some out in Arizona.

Went to a cianotype workshop. Was really nice! Simple technique, easy and pleasant to do.

Those look nice. That's a different blue from the few other cyanotypes I've seen, which look more like this. Are there tricks for getting different blues?

Those photos look amazing! Honestly I don’t know. It was the first time I did the technique. Maybe the chemical’s used? Or the time exposure to light?

I like Focos. It's very handy for adjusting bokeh and depth blur.

My Focos only works on my iPhone. It used to be one of my favourites

Just by chance, I stumbled across this article this morning about mixing cyanotype and mobile photo techniques:

Peter Wilkins is a FB acquaintance, and he really does fantastic work with cyanotype.

He does, yes. I follow him on Instagram -- always interesting even when he's doing something I don't think I would.
