I'm still with a walking stick, so hard to shoot without sitting (but I'll do my best).
As for the apple, it's not from my own garden but my sister-in-law's. I'm not fond of apples, after all that was the fruit which...
BTW, whenever a female serves apple I refuse telling that we should never repeat the same mistake :wink:

There are some nice colours there Gio67, and the fruit (or flowers) on the plant look interesting. Perhaps some more light on the foreground would help?

On the subject of fruit, here is a Rosehip from the weekend.

Hi Gio67 - those look very mich like Daisies - the picture gives me the impression of a summer meadow - I really like the view of the flowers 'dancing' off in to the distance.

Lovely shot of the daisies, Gio67. :D

The photo does have the aura of Birma's flower meadow shots indeed! Especially those shot at the Eden Project! :D Well done!

Hi Dr. Harout, : )

Congratulations on your new 30 F/2.8 lens. Looking very promising indeed. Looking forward to many shots to come with this lens! : ))

And a big welcome to your tomatoes! They are look wonderful and soon they'll be all ripe and sweet... and on your plate. :D

Thanks for sharing

Don't forget the walking stick as well Birma ha ha, Tomatos are looking good Doc, but they better get a move on, it's Autumn there in about 12 days I think.

When we last grew tomatoes in Scotland, in a greenhouse but not heated after summer, they were still being picked into December. We get a second crop of raspberries normally in November!

Today I discovered it's not always a bad thing to neglect your garden. Another couple of jars of blackberry jelly from the brambles which I forgot to exterminate this year!

Hmm Tomatos aren't as sensitive too cold as I thought then, I sort of pictured them turning black with the first frost. There's a plant here that has a black berry and the birds love it, they drop the seeds and spread it everywhere (It's called a Sasparilla, but there is many so called Sarsparilla types), it's a pest in the Rainforest, choking up edges and clearings etc. It's probably good to make jam from if the birds like it so much. You'll never get rid of your brambles completely while you still have birds I reckon David.
