Watermelons

watermelons070902

Assorted watermelons—striped one from Japan, long and round black ones from Kenya. Kenyan watermelons were harvested by my mother-in-law from seeds I carried from Kenya. They are pretty nice. Now it is the end of the watermelon season here in Japan then she uprooted all. They are good for sketching.:) Done on the 2nd of September, 2007.
