Orange You Ready Yet? by pasadenarose

Orange You Ready Yet?

This is the 2nd crop of oranges I've seen in the grove at my favorite public garden since I first began visiting.

The previous crop was harvested months ago and made into marmalade which was then sold to raise funds to keep the garden maintained.

My shot of the previous crop is here:

Once they ripen, visitors are allowed to help themselves to ONE orange. Surprisingly this honor system works very well. :-)
Mmmmmmm marmalade! What a treat to be able to pick one :-)

@roadshow stole the words right out of my mouth!! I love the light you have captured and the great color, Rose! They almost look like the limes I posted yesterday!

Nice shot and nice that people follow the honor system. Now I do not feel so bad as you have not posted in quite a while. I do not have much to post but ducks, squirrels and geese but enjoy it and get to post things that happen into my life once in a while. Hope all is going well.

@darsphotos
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :-)
Yes, I am so far behind. Actually, I'm done. My project ended Sept 11, and I have such a backlog of photos to go through and edit and post. The more behind I got, the more I dreaded it and kept putting it off even more. I am a Master Procrastinator. Sigh. :-(

Warm enough? Good lord, I'm melting here! LOL I can't wait for fall. It comes late to Los Angeles.

@pasadenarose The other extreme to us then. We have an Autumn storm due today, temperatures in the high 50s and winds of 60mph to accompany 2 or 3 inches of rain.

Mean't to add, thank you for all the lovely and insightful comments you've made on my project overnight.

Lovely texture on those oranges xx

@pasadenarose Wow, you were melting there today. It was only in the 80's and cold tonight. Loving the change but not the shorter days. It is hard to keep up or catch up once one is behind on here. Love this site and the people but like you, I am a procrastinator, though have a lot to do at home, just super slow at it and when it comes to photos it takes me time to make a decision as to what to post. Sure enjoy your visits and hope it cools off in So Ca. Have a wonderful week.
