Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. By terracing the mountaintop at Monticello, Jefferson created conditions that were suitable to grow items not typically found in Virginia. Here is a row of Marseilles figs, cuttings for which he brought back from France, planted against the outside of the kitchen wall which created a microclimate.

They will need some fig pluckers to harvest these, Thad.
I really like the lines.

This is lovely Thad- the green of the fig leaves especially vibrant. I am drawn into the picture and would like to walk the length of the row :)

It is the fig season here in NZ now. My friend has a tree. I love them baked with honey, or in a salad with blue cheese :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Thad, would not have been easy to find a suitable place in Virginia like the southern part of France, but Mr.Jefferson was a genius in all kind of aspects.

I like your composition, and the color, against the colors. :)

My Goodness, I am addicted to fruit...! Figs - fresh, baked, dried with or without cheeses...
You will be sued for alimony if I gain weight, dear Thad :)
Seriously - also here the colours and lines are appreciated very much - even if you won't share the figs with the disappointed undersigned...

Now Thad, watch your language.
Good composition of the scene and capture of the scene, Thad.
