It's a pretty strange thing when you realize that you have a rather large fruit growing in your backyard that you don't remember planting. A few weeks ago I found a rather strange fruit growing on the vine that I thought was failed green beans I planted way too early in the summer. As you can see, the legume turned out to be a cantaloupe. I don't know if any of the melons on the plant will be edible. The first melon I identified wound up rotting from the inside. This melon here as gone soft on one end. I have two more tries left on the vine. I've eaten figs, apples, pears, blackberries, raspberries, chard, and tomatoes from my backyard; it would be fun to be able to add melon to the list.
In other news, I've had some fun photo time. This past weekend I got to help out photographing prewedding pictures. I even got a chance to direct the couple for a few shots, but it was pretty intimidating and I was relieved to hand the reins back over to someone else. Today, I am going to take some family shots of some friends with the lighting kit I checked out from class. I played with the lights this morning, and they were less scary than I thought they would be to work. Not that I necessarily will be able to light things the way I want, but at least I've figured out how to turn the lights on and trigger them from my camera.
