When Mother Nature Does Whatever The Hell She Wants

June 14, 2011 CherylDLee

This is a lemon. Yep, a regular old lemon. Not some fancy, schmancy lemon. . . just a lemon.

As I was walking part my neighbors house I spotted this beautiful freak of nature on a tree loaded with normal, boring oblong lemons. Gorgeous in its misfit way, freakishly reaching towards me like a hand. I had to have it. (Yes, I asked before picking it. I’m a good neighbor, thank you!)

Every angle is different, every nook and cranny unique. Mother Nature doing her thing.

    My entry in the Strange Lemon Department looked like it was giving birth to something equally freakish!

    It looks like this one wants to be more like the “Buddha’s hand fruit”. Some Chinese/Japanese people consider this a symbol of happiness, good luck and fortune.

    That is FABULOUS! I have some similar, but yours is more intricate.
    Your photography is wonderful.
