    Que MARAVILHA!

    Que reportagem! Que cores! Que frutas!
    Morando aqui em Imbituba é que se dá valor a essa QUALIDADE, que consumida aí, não se percebe como é importante.

    Parabéns pela MAGNIFICA postagem! Memoravel! Parabéns aos produtores de tais delícias!

    Sônia que beleza estas frutas suculentas, as fotos de perto dá aquela vontade de mordê-las!

    Os pés de abacaxi lembram a minha infância, um dos dias mais felizes, no sítio de meu avô em Tatuí (interior de S.Paulo), estavamos andando de charrete com meus primos pelas estradas de terra, e tinha chovido muito e quando vimos havia uma plantação linda de abacaxi, éramos só crianças, eu, irmãs, primos e primas. Furtamos um abacaxi e saímos a galope, o mais rápido possível. Que emoção que foi essa fuga!

    Ah, but where are the apricots? Your fruit looks absolutely yummy & quite dependable; I live in a mountain climate quite suitable for stone fruits, except that we're likely to have late frosts! Hence, apples, pears and plums do quite well, but the apricots and peaches bear once every three or four years.

    Hi Sonia...

    Just checked out your photos of fruit. Kayla was sitting on my lap, and said, "Wow...look at those apples". Great photos....you can just smell the peaches.

    Where is your skywatch photo this week??

    BTW, I really like the photo below of the orchard at night...nicely composed.
