Saturated bananas - Costa Rica #6

Posted by Bookfool (Mississippi, United States) on 27 April 2009 in Plant & Nature.

On our first walk around the hotel grounds, we spotted some bananas. Unfortunately, the photo was totally blah. I figured I might as well have some fun with it and turned it into something akin to a kid's painting. Much better, in my humble opinion, and you still get the gist. There were bananas growing in Monteverde. Cool.

@P J W Miller: This is what I love about digital -- the way you can play with a bad photo and at least turn it into something wild and fun. Thank you! :)

A mite too green to eat, but a lovely 'painting'! :D

@Judy: The real bananas were too green, too. They had banana shakes on the menu, though, and my son was crazy about them. Thank you, Judy!

Great colors and I trust though saturated, no transfats...

@Earnest: I think bananas are free of transfats. And, a nice bonus is that they're high in potassium. So, just color saturation, yep. Thanks, Earnest!

@Lorraine: You've retired? Cool! It's hot here, too, but not HOT. I think we're among the few places on the map that are experiencing normal, seasonal weather. It's just in the 80's. It's okay to have bookish days in which you forget about the A3 folks. Why not have fun, right? Happy reading, Rainy!
