I have a shameful confession. I photoshopped the melon! I know it's subtle, but I wanted to lighten the foreground without blowing out the melon itself. I did a layer mask, and now I think it looks brighter. I should have changed the original picture a bit, however, to darken the melon and bring out more detail on the top. Maybe next time.
Anyway, one branch of the vine had gotten outside the bed, and this ping pong ball sized melon was sitting on it, pretty as anything.
I have to say, it is constantly nice to think that my last garden at this house is going to produce such a nice harvest. I feel really grateful.
