In honor of the color RED

May I present the Blood Orange, one of our favorite fruits. The depth of the color in these oranges is always a surprise when I cut them open.

Great detail and color. Great for today's word of the day. Instant Fav.

[Connie Little]

Great image. They are a nice orange.

[Milanie]

I've always heard of them but never seen one opened. Fascinating.

[Valerie Chesney]

Great capture, we have many of these hanging over our fence, ripening here, Our neighbors say eat what hangs over your side of the fence..YUM!

I was using blood oranges last year to make individual tarts, they tasted so good.

[Babs]

Excellent close up, such a rich colour.

Gorgeous close-up shot. Blood oranges are the least of the oranges family that I like.

Never actually seen one so good to view it here. Look so different from the normal orange!

My thanks to each of you! If you have not had blood oranges I recommend you try them, they really are delicious! Thank you so much for your comments!

[Ron]

Wow, I've never seen such a thing! Nice capture!

[Lou Ann]

@stray_shooter My friend Annie serves mimosas made with blood orange juice and champagne, that was my first introduction to this delicious fruit. Try it sometime, you will love it!

[Mandy]

Great colour - I think it would look equally good on a pure white plate? Just a thought.

[Lou Ann]

@mandygravil I agree! Thank you!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

You can definitely see how they get their name here. Good shot.
