Brown and tasty, but with a sting ...

Over ripe figs.  Nikon D200

30th August 2015

While we were away in France, the fig trees went nuts.   There are stacks of ripe fruit just calling to be picked.   There were a fair few of the fruits which have gone over, but the birds are seeing to those ones.

While picking some of the riper fruits today, I also realised that the wasps are making a meal of ones that are very ripe and have split with the recent rain

Ouch!

One little sod stung me on the side of the finger!

I will be wearing my thick red rubber gloves from now on to pick the fruit :(
