Ode to the Land, Close-up

This is a sort of follow up to my post, Ode to the Land. These images are close-ups along the same boundary. I took these with a little point and shoot so quality is a little shakey. Sometimes I do not feel like lugging around a tripod and camera gear, but I know I should take a camera so I grab my little point and shoot.

Years ago we planted a pineapple patch. Every year we get about 100-150 pineapples. Needless to say we can get a bit sick of them. This one is still a few months out.

This is looking down on a very young pineapple.

These are a wild bush berry. The color reminds me of blueberries. They are edible but are very small, about the size of a pea.

This is a flower of the hibiscus family. It grows wild everywhere here and comes in this color and yellow.

These are just little tiny wild slower that are found on the forest floor.

I thought this looked a lot like an orchid. Orchids grow wild everywhere here. This one was growing on the ground and is smaller than my funger nail.

This is a cicada exoskeleton. I found four of them stuck to a tree so I pulled this one off and moved it into the light and onto a leaf for better contrast.

This is of course me, or at least a reflection of me.
