A Taste of California Sunshine

We maxed out our luggage weight limits with a surplus of avocados and, for little Hazel, this one immense navel orange! She could hardly wait to enjoy it and dug in, rind first! After an easy explanation that the inside was better than the outside, she made this into her lunch! Nothing could have pleased me more than to see her enjoy this healthy treat!

How lovely! Like an ad for California oranges.
Beautiful portrait! Fav.

@veengupta Thanks, Veena! Already we notice that we miss our abundance of citrus when we're in Canada, but one can't have everything!

how delightful - love those expressive eyes

[Louise & Ken]

@annied Thanks, Annie! I have three adorable grandsons, but 4th, and last, I got my little girl! She can wrap us around her finger!

[Annie D]

@Weezilou I am not at all surprised with those eyes lol

[Louis A. Sousa]

Fantastic image, beautiful color and eyes.

I agree with Veena. could be an ad for oranges. What amazing eyes.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, she's enjoying that BIG time!

[Denise Wood]

Such a delightful capture :)

[Margaret Obey]

Those eyes are amazing Louise. I posted an image of my granddaughter's eyes on 31st March 2014. I tried to embed the code but it didn't work.

[Pam Knowler]

She really is so gorgeous!! Look at those beautiful eyes!! I love that she is enjoying your fruit from home. Hope you don't miss it too much!!

[Joan Robillard]

Adorable.

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

So cute!

[Francoise]

o a fellow-traveller who also carries produce across state lines. I caused a big fuss once at an airport check point by having an entire carry-on bag full of fresh rhubarb. Delightful shot.

[Pyrrhula]

So cute. And so lovely captured. Great shot of you lovely granddaughter.

[Rosie Kerr]

What an adorable child, with such liquid brown eyes. Such a charming shot, showing her enjoying some edible SoCal sunshine. :)

[Louise & Ken]

@francoise I LOVED your comment! Having come up here now for 15 years, I don't need many clothes, but know not to waste 100# apiece! One time as my carryon went through the scanner, the man looked up at me and said quizzically, "Tortillas???" Yep! (Can't get corn tortillas up here!) Can't bring the fresh fruit into Canada, but I come up with a lot of groceries! Your recipient of the fresh rhubarb must have been delighted! I'm cheering mine along in my garden here! The recipies are lined up and waiting!

[Janet B.]

A priceless portrait! Such beautiful eyes!

[Danette Thompson]

Those eyes!

[Bill Fenske]

oh, so cute!

[Anita Campbell]

Very cute. Love that expression. She's enjoying it1

[Tunia McClure]

I liked your answer with info on tortillas. Why no tortillas? I once sent my sister lasagne noodles -- to Egypt!

[Louise & Ken]

@tunia Funny, isn't it that it doesn't take long to discover "down home favorites" that aren't available! I might go 6 months in California without eating them, but as soon as they're not available, I crave them! The upside is that I can now make a lovely Mexican meal for friends here, and it's something they might not be able to fix for themselves! (Thanks for chiming in on this conversation!)
