Sticky fruit

In our brother's garden opposite is a tamarind tree. You can see the fruits on the ground in these pictures.

Although they may look like something the cat left in the gravel, they are in fact very tasty! You can easily crack open the crisp shell and the seeds inside are covered with a very sweet sticking liquid. This is what you eat spitting the seeds out once they are sucked dry.

The tree is very tall so a long pole is a convenient way to dislodge ripe fruits. 

And in the same garden is a turkey. A January turkey, I think, is rare - so here is a picture of a turkey that escaped Christmas! (Too skinny I was told)
