Fruit and Patterns

The City Daily Photo theme for May 1st is "Fruit." I took a picture of apples in a grocery store, but I hoped to find something more interesting.


 I stopped at a produce stand today, but they just had some melons and one other fruit. I don’t have any fresh fruit at home because I can’t eat raw fruit without my gums swelling, and my tongue feeling sore. I can eat certain cooked fruits, and my standby is applesauce. That’s definitely not photogenic.

I looked around my kitchen and found some canned cherries. I opened them, but they were dull-colored and mushy. I ate some with dinner. 

I did notice that a pan full of water caught a reflection of the window blinds. I shook it lightly and created patterns.

  1. I think I would be very sad if fruit made my tongue feel sore! And I think a basket of apples is anything but mundane!

  5. Gotta eat what we can...though I had a good discussion yesterday about what we crave vs. what is not going to make us suffer from it.

  6. Applesauce is a favorite, I like chunky applesauce.
    I would be upset not being able to eat fruit.
    Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.

  10. Cool black and white reflection. I was just thinking about how expensive apples are. 7 of them cost me $10 dollars.
