[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Limunchi or limon or lime....is the essential fruit for Caipirinha. A Brazilian cocktail which became one of my favorites when my friend Onno served it to me on Curacao. To prepare the Caipirinha he needed limes. But with the stores closed and no lime-trees in the backyard he switched to plan "B". He simple "borrowed" some from the neighbor's lime-tree. Risking life and limb (the neighbor has a watchdog) to serve me my Caipirinha he eventually returned with two arms full of limes (I guess he thought I was very thirsty).

Wikipedia:
The word "caipirinha" is the diminutive of "caipira", which refers to someone from the countryside. The drink's Portuguese name is feminine, and thus literally means "country girl".

PP-talk
As you know a lime is green or yellow. In this case I thought it was boring to display a couple of yellow fruits so I PP-ed them a bit.
- selected 3 limunchis with 250px feather
- inverted selection
- brought down the saturation
- messed with hue to get the red color
- named and framed
- resized for TL

To Onno: thank you for getting me hooked on Caipirinha, when can I come back for more?

Hallo Loon.
Je intro gelezen en je account bekeken. daar is niets mis mee.
