Exotic fruits
Frankly, inexperienced distant travel and non-refined gourmets people, will be surprised by the abundance of unfamiliar names and place of cultivation of this fruit. Interesting facts can be hidden in exotic fruits.
Guava (Psidium guajava) is native to the American tropics, and in Florida it grows as a semi-wild and cultivated tree. It is a short-lived, fast-growing, woody, large herb to 10 or 12 feet in height. Shown here is a very young fruit on the tree, having just budded from its flower.
The skin color of guava can be light green to yellow, and the flesh varies from white, yellow or pink to red. Even the flavor of this fruit can range from sweet to highly acidic. The former is best for eating raw, while the latter is good for cooking with some sugar added.
It’s compared to cantaloupe, although some varieties are musky in flavor. Guava is low in calories and fat, while providing vitamins A and C.

Beautiful Infrared Photography by David Keochkerian
These infrared photographs taken by 35-year-old France-based photographer David Keochkerian look like bizarre, saturated landscapes created from a Dr. Seuss illustration. Seasons seem reversed, with white trees appearing in spring, and bushes are transformed into something that looks like fragile blades of bubblegum.

Photographer Randy P. Martin describes his photographic style as ‘Travel documentation’ and we agree. His pictures capture his travels, his adventures and the people he meets along the way. The images seem to be snaphots, talking about life, joy and emotions. Randy shoots because he simply loves it and can’t help but make his experiences timeless —to perpetually live in them and soak up every last bit for as long as possible.

David Fleetham’s underwater photographs of life in the world’s oceans
There are a host of amazing things to see beneath the sea – as photographer David Fleetham’s stunning images prove. Documenting life beneath the waves, David’s images show the startling variety of life that can be found in the world’s oceans. From the weird and wonderful to the cute or fearsome, a whole other world lurks just beneath the surface. Photographing underwater scenes since 1976, David has captured on film the creatures that populate everywhere from the Pacific Ocean to the Red Sea. In the waters around the Galapagos Islands a hungry sea lion appears to swim through a tunnel of fish as it searches for supper. Elsewhere, in the sea off Maui, a green turtle swims just beneath the surface as an oblivious paddle boarder passes above and a Stout Moray flashes its terrifying teeth. David lives on Maui with his wife Denise and son Sean and has been in Hawaii for over eighteen years.
