In my mind, I'm five years old having a high old time wandering and wondering. In reality, I'm now 70, wowza! I tell you a lot of creativity is still to be found in this old young self. In you, too, whatever your age. Welcome to my barefoot world!

Blenheim Apricots
Hopefully, in a few weeks we'll be eating these Blenheim apricots from the backyard.
It being Friday, I'm participating in The Weekend in Black and White, which is hosted by Dragonstar. To see other participants, please click here.
You have no netting over your beautiful apricots. Will you have to fight off any greedy birds as the fruit ripens? We have to net all our fruit because otherwise the cockatoos will swoop down in their hundreds and devour everything in sight!
They're still green. We haven't been getting much sunshine plus it's shady in the backyard so it may take longer for them to get ripe. But, when they do, oh boy! Intense sweetness.
Lovely photo. I like apricots very much, so I'm almost drooling here ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dragonstar. I think Bleheims are the sweetest of all apricots that I've tasted thus far.

FRANKLY MY DEAR
Thanks. Molly the Cat thought I was crazy, taking shot after shot from different angles of the apricots. :-)
DeleteGreat photo and these apricots are coming along nicely
ReplyDeleteThanks, Birgit. It's shady back there now so I think our crop will take longer to ripen then normal.
DeleteI like it.
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky. Fresh and yummy apricots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by :)
It comes from parents who believe in planting fruit trees in their backyards. :-)
DeleteGrowing your own apricots must be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTotally!
DeleteBeautiful post.

DeleteSusie,

Fortunately, most of the fruit is low so we can harvest them before the birds. We're okay about letting the birds having the fruit way at the top.
DeleteLovely apricots! Something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteYup. :-)
DeleteLovely photo with a fine contrast!
ReplyDeleteThanks, LonettA. My eyes aren't so great anymore so I'm rather insecure about whether I've put in too much or too little contrast.
DeleteThank you, Jarek.
ReplyDeleteThey seem very early but I bet they are delicious

DeleteBeautiful b&w shot!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jill.
DeleteNothing like tree ripened fresh fruit. But take care not to eat too much at one time. Lovely photo.
