There we were, out on my sister's deck next to her pool in Mount Pleasant, SC when my mind began to wander and I picked up my camera looking for something to shoot. She has a lime plant growing in a pot next to the pool and since most of my ancestors came from England (one or two from Scotland and Ireland) I decided to take it's picture.
Canon EOS 350 D camera with a Sigma AF 18-200mm DC OS Zoom lens

You didn't go very far to find something to shoot. I'm tempted to say a green& yellow pictuer (rather than b&w).
Lovely. -

Now I know where the slang term "Limey' comes from when referring to the British. Apparently lime juice was given to the sailors to prevent scurvy in those long-ago sailing days.
Nice sharp focus, John. -
