BABIES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.....

Of course Chook's baby Rebecca is gorgeous but I am talking about the birth of new fruit that occurs all year round at my mother's place. I took these photos last Thursday and there are more fruit appearing every week, all year round.

Baby mangos by the  hundred...

....and figs...

....and nashis....more than ever before

 

There are also the baby apricots, plums, lemons, oranges, nectarines, peaches, pears and several varieties of apples. 

 

Granny Smith apples...

.....moorpark apricots...

...and twin mangos....cute

 

And at my place....here are some ripe boysenberries.....must be THE most difficult things to photograph...but the easiest things to grow and best to eat.....all warm and black and squishy, straight off the canes.

 

And look who came sauntering into our garden today..... an echidna! It seems to have walked straight through the mesh I put on the gate to keep the chooks out of the pool area..... another job to do.....but worth it to have this gorgeous creature visit us. No wonder the chooks were acting a bit odd!
