I ran away to Europe for two months and it was a photographic odyssey. I’m finally starting to sort through a few of them and this is my favourite series I’ve found so far. While driving through Croatia on our way to Bosnia and Herzegovina (from Split to Mostar), we drove past so many roadside fruit stalls that we suddenly decided we had to stop! So all four girls yelled at Dan to pull over straight away. Gab ran across the road because she spotted the world’s best watermelon and I saw that as my opportunity to take as many photos as possible of the tasty treats for the Cactus Banana collection.

The real treasure that was found on this stop, however, was Nellie the Mellie. She was the tastiest watermelon one could ever have and she lives on in our memories!
