Advent Window Twenty Three: Oranges

This orange sunset got me thinking about oranges in the bottom of a Christmas stocking. A tradition born when oranges were a real treat in the winter time. Now too familiar to cause much excitement! Still, for me, a Christmas stocking would be wrong without an orange in the toe. A reminder to value the familiar and easily attainable.
Terrific color tones.

Yes I remember the tradition of an orange in the toe of my stocking when I was a child. I used to also love chocolate in my stocking too, so this year there is a Terry's Chocolate Orange under my tree so I have the best of both worlds.

Lovely shot.
