Tried to take better picture of these pair but had hard time with glare as youu can see.

Come on over to the light side Luke....

Well well well, Look who just folded.

Nay, he just photoshopped it or shot it through a filter.

Gene i do not photoshop my pictures but take many shots to get the best picture using this cheapo camera.
John- good one
Rafed  - Thanks, is that a compliment ?  ; )

Martin, I hope you know I was just joking as you are known for your trickery.
"gene"

Gene yes i know you were joking.  ; )
True i don't do the photoshop thing.
 In future i give you a heads up before posting !

Rafed , you said i folded and when i read that i laughed hard . 
I wanted to say
"i did not Fold  want to Annie up the pot some Rafed " ?

What i did was take a fig about to fall from tree, thruout the years on my trees i seen them come in different colors before swelling, they will fall. 

So i said why not have some fun as some.
So I
Get out the honey jar and toothpick , put fig on plate and dab honey on fig and then take close up to make it appear the fig is bigger than what it really is.

I add this picture i call "Bit of Honey" and  "The Gold Standard" into my album.

All in fun.

SEE, see, I just knew you were up to something. Great as usual Martin. You keep us guessing, another great one.

Martin...what kind of fig is this?

Hi Figsontheporch,
it came from my kalamata black plant which is dropping the figs .
I give a few more seasons .

O.K. Martin,

I'll bet with you. But if I lose you have to promise to take care of the White or Green or even Gold fig I give as a gambling bet. And that you will take care of it for at least three years before you decide to get rid of it.

Gene,
Don't you think that's fair?

Rafed,
i do not understand what is actually the bet ?

Rafed, all is fair in love and war and this is love. I'm also with Martin, what the bet? We must have missed something.

On Martin mpost #7

He wrote;
"i did not Fold  want to Annie up the pot some Rafed " ?

I thought he meant: Want to ante up? As in betting.

I guess I misunderstood.

No harm meant, sorry

Rafed no no your right, as you can see im not a poker player i cant spell the word.   ; )
Anyways what i meant was i did not fold and want to annie up because it was a joke all along.

See how can i say um
ok you thought i folded because "you" thought i finally gave in (folded) and grew a light type fig and by me saying want to annie
 up was like wanna bet i did not fold and grow light type like you thinking.

So anyways season marches on its August were losing daylight each day now and our figs meaning yours and mine Rafed will ripen in our climate growing in our pots.
Then we have this to look for 12 above zero in garage storage and that was not the coldest in garage it got a little colder.  ; ) 

Martin, thanks for the clarification, now I understand. The camaraderie we enjoy here is great but sometimes in the written word we lose a lot of the meaning. I'm sure that if you and Rafed were having the same conversation face to face, it would have been understood completely. Of course meeting on line is a lot better than not meeting at all. Jon has a great site which is populated by great people.
Love dem figs.

Martin I absolutely love what you did. Good one!
