    I just want to thank everyone who liked my picture. This picture was taken in my backyard.

    One Saturday morning I was cleaning the yard and saw this. I quickly went for my phone and took this pic.

    I thought it would be a good photo and I submitted it to DNO for Photo of the day.

    :-D :-D :-D

      The pic was taken very close so it looks like Coy coy but truth be told it is called “figme zoua zouao or the bird ripe fig.

      I am not sure the correct name but that is that is name I know it as.
