[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The seed pods of the Wild Peach Kiggelaria africana are hard round knobbly greenish-yellow capsules that split open to expose shiny black seeds, enclosed in an oily, sticky, bright orange-red coat. Crowned Hornbill, Olive Woodpecker, Cape Thrush, Cape Robin and mousebirds among other birds enjoy these fruits.

Uou certainly have some "thing" with patterns. There is a SMALL symmetry in this picture as well. I suspect you are right brained and can see the world in a way only a few I have seen.
