Wild Persimmon


For years, vines were choking the wild persimmon growing in our front yard. A few orange blobs of astringent fruit would drop to the ground each year around this time. Even the squirrels declined to eat them. Not long ago, we had the area cleared of the vines and brambles and now the persimmon is thriving, with an abundance of fruit. With the vines gone, I also noticed the bark for the first time. I liked the way the film rendered the colors, too.

Tasting notes: Leica R9, 35mm Summicron, Lomography Color 92.
