Who would think you'd be picking candy from trees. I made Apple Crisp for dessert tonight..wonder how it would taste with your crab apples...double dessert.
You truly do see food with an artist's eye. I think I would have just looked at it and kept on going to the next group of apples. Really a nice picture to show the beauty of the sun and plants.
You know it is funny how I think seeing those flat fields full of flowers is so beautiful and I am not sure if you have seen the few pics I have posted of my view from my front yard. I look north and see Mt. Baldy and then if I look east I see Big Bear Mountain. Big Bear is where Arrowhead Spring Water comes from. And if I drive south just a bit then we see what we call hills which are little, little mountains. It is about a 20 minute drive to get to the base of either mountain, I guess I live pretty much in the middle but then another 20 minute drive and we will be on the back side of Mt.Baldy. Really cool in that area because it is like being in a forest, okay it is a forest. The really bad thing is that when we have the big fires out here then it means we worry, really worry. Last time the fires came within 3 miles of us, which meant my views were just of orange fires at night and smoke during the day. My brothers house was barely saved and we know others whose was not. Because we have not had any big fires for a few years it means that these beautiful mountains are just filling up with more and more fuel. Which means that the next big fires will be BIG. We are about to enter that season soon and the Santa Ana's will start. I live just below the pass and every year it is like the Big Bad Wolf trying to blow our houses down. It is a howling good time here, not!
I guess that there is beauty everywhere and by sharing pictures we get to share the beauty. I think I need to charge my camera and actually start using it. It is just so easy to use the cell phone camera and maybe I just need to start using it too. LOL, I am so lazy.
I looked today and it isn't there....it was a unique moment in sunlight and breeze. I'm glad I didn't miss it!
Your mountains sound lovely....yes, our country is gorgeous no matter where you are...just in different ways. I hope the wild fires miss you ...well, and miss everyone. It would be great to have enough rain to wipe them out!
Oh, the buzzing of the bees in the peppermint trees, And the soda water fountains The lemonade springs and the bluebird sings In the big rock candy mountains
Oh, that looks so yummy--like you have a candy tree in your yard. :)
ReplyDeleteI know! I did a double-take!

Apples I surely don't let go to waste
You were hoping it was something we could sell?

LOL that is always my hope
DeleteBut it seems to slide down a slippery slope
just had to laugh!

ReplyDeleteooh...apple crisp....you certainly are ready for fall, aren't you? Yum...that sounds delicious!
DeleteI don't think it was the sun; I think that magical things just happen when Betsy is near.

Deletenow there you go, the next painting, maybe with a bird holding them,,, has to have a bird, right??
ReplyDeleteabsolutely, it has to be a bird! haha.
DeleteThat is so cute how you saw a peppermint in that crab apple! It took me a second before my mind thought "creatively"!!
ReplyDeletehaha...and you were wondering if they were real and you could bake with them, right? ha.

When's the book coming out? You do have an artist eye for food, clouds, etc!
Now wouldn't that be fun for Christmas? :) Book? Faces in my food? I wonder if it's been done!?
