Field Notes

Notes:

Picked this three-inch fruit from the office tree to eat. But this one is ripe and lived up to its local name of Balimbing having a sweet and sour taste to it. I prefer eating the fruit before it ripens. Photos before and after I picked it, the third one is comparing its size to a one peso coin.
