the fruitiest post







I just had to take a picture of some of the nectarines from our tree, and I ended up taking pictures of other fruit around the kitchen as well. The nectarines aren't as big as they were two years ago, but last year we had none, so it's a vast improvement. And. despite their small size, they are juicy and delicious. David and Noodle hand pollinated this year since it was too cold in the early spring for the natural pollinators.

Those are some cool still-life photos. I have to admit, the angles you used make me want to catch the fruit (especially the bananas) before they fall on the floor!

haha, Mary. I can see your point on the angles... :o) I assure you, the fruit was in no danger of falling. ::NO FRUIT WAS HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THESE PHOTOS::

They hand pollinated? That's awesome!

Yup, they used the eraser ends of pencils. Good thing we only have ONE tree!
