lupa ciudadana--thanks for the recommendation--is pretty cool. I like the feasibility analyses of the various proposals (and am a bit depressed by the response to AMLO's proposal for another DF-Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo train . . . Helmut's World Cup travel memories notwithstanding, I've long lamented the fact that the passenger train is no longer an option out of NL).
They're really truly grapes. The cool thing in this case is that, as with many fruits, if you look closely and beyond the fruit as something to eat, you can often find the most incredible patterns and colors.
A Japanese artist I knew in France was doing this - painting pictures of extreme details of flowers in the French countryside. They were beautiful and abstract and looked unlike what our eyes usually perceive when we view the whole thing.

these look like unripe blueberries... hey, helmut, check out "lupa ciudadana" -- it's getting wacky.
Catherine - they're really grapes. I cropped this and enlarged it slightly from an original photo of the entire bunch of grapes in a vineyard.
Blueberries coming soon!
I feel like I'm in a Sedona gift shop. I don't expect coloring like that in a fruit, especially something domestic as a grape.

Looks a lot like what we call "raisins de mer" in the French West Indies. They grow on 2 to 3 meters high trees near beaches.
