Description There's a long story attached to this shot. Please read. It's important.

So here it goes.
Everything was calm. I took a pear out of the refregirator to take make a nice fruit picture as my good friend Francois Cote had done weeks ago (see his work : [link] ).

Then at the precise moment when I dropped the pear on the table something caught my attention. I felt a simple and gentle breeze on my cheek. Then I turned back to see if I let the window opened then I heard : **SNAP**, turned back again and then! DAMN! A ninja had cut my pear in to half.
I haven't seen a thing, I only heard the sound of the katana going through the juicy fruit. I'm not sure if you can see it on this picture, but it is CLEAR that the cut was made by a very sharp katana since the pear haven't even moved... And the cut is so clean. WHOA!

I'm lucky that he wasn't heading for my head.

Still I'm not sure why have he came my way... was this a warning from Francois not to try to make the same picture as him? Or maybe it's was a "ninjaesque" way to tell me that some people want to kill me? Or he was sent by the future to tell me that if I don't do anything, America will be torn appart by a second civil war (this is CLEARELY represent by the two part of the pear, top = north and bottom = south) the connections are all there... I just can't find what he meant...

Who knows... I'll have to be on my guards all time now.

Sneaky ninjas... cutting a perfectly good pear for their sneaky ninja ways! That's awesome! I love the story, it's great! Have to watch out for ninjas, you know, and gnomes.... Oh, the GNOMES! There's a gnome for every need, you know... garden gnomes, art gnomes, soda gnomes, computer gnomes.....
The list goes on and on.

However, we were discussing ninjas. Quite right, stealthy little beasts, aren't they... I love this picture! Favorites list for certain! *looks both ways for sneaky ninjas before pressing "submit"*

As a devout fan of Ninjas, I am in awe at the sheer awesomeness that has been displayed by this quick and concise yet powerful action on behalf of one of the fantastic beings themselves. Consider yourself lucky to have been so close to one! Even if he had chopped off your ear or arm you would have to be quite amazed and flattered that a Ninja was examining your dwelling and slaying your fruits. Excellent!

Well, I'm aint sure if I'm flattered, but maybe a bit... it sure is imressing to see them work. (even if I haven't seen a thing!)

I think the ninja was hungry, and was hinting at you to share the fruity goodness. Keep an extra pear on hand for future drive-by slicing. Good stuff
