I’ve been a little absent from blogging lately. I’ve been trying to sort out some issues in regards to my travel arrangements. Let’s just say it’s a good idea to have more than 6 months validity left on your passport when you travel!!! Anyway, I won’t bore you with that. I want to talk about all the summer fruits I’ve spotted lately. I love this time of the year. The markets are alive with the aroma of stone fruits and berries. The colours are strong, vibrant and fiery. I’ve bought nectarines, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and cherries. I’ve tried to use them in a variety of ways but today’s post won’t have any recipes. These will follow in the coming week. Except for the nectarines. I just munch on those until the juices run down my chin. I actually have a bit of a nectarine addiction!
I’ve also spent a fair bit of time photographing these summer fruits. Actually a lot of time! I hope by Monday to have my online photography portfolio available. I’ll have the name and link available and I’ll make a big “hoo-ha” announcement here! But I’m not leaving my day job just yet! It’s an area I hope to pursue semi professionally. Blogging has opened up a lot of opportunities and allowed me to do what I love most. Be creative with food! Hope you enjoy the pictures and I’ll be back shortly with a few “fun” recipes and pictures! Cheers!

Traveling again, huh? Ahh, it’s your Spring and we can live vicariously through you until the warm weather comes around the northern hemisphere.
I’m a nectarine addict, too. They may be the most perfect fruit. Although blueberries are right up there, too. The photos are beautiful.
Ah, the seasons are inverted now, and you get all the bounty of beautiful summer fruit!
Your beautiful pictures are really soul-uplifting! We still have to go through 2 seasons in order to eat those fruits!
cheers,
Rosa
I always think I’ve accidentally clicked on an old post when I see titles like this one. Then I think, Duh, it’s not wintertime everywhere, Susan. I know I tell you this a lot, Peter, but these pictures are phenomenal. I mean really. I just called my husband over, and we’ve spent the last couple minutes, oohing and aahing over them. I adore the top one with the checkered take out box on the chair.
It’s still so strange to me that you are enjoying summer while we’re waiting for a snow flurry this weekend! Enjoy your summer fruit … it looks divine.
I am so glad to hear that you are pursuing photography in a semi-professional level and I wish you the best. You really have the talent to do that. Good luck my friend!
Your photos are brilliant..so bright and vibrant..!
enjoy your summer peter – i remember the antipodean summer well (in our case, rain was always guaranteed…)
Can’t wait to see what you have prepared for us!! I am really glad that you are doing what you like even if it is semi-professional. One step at a time my friend and I am sure your work will be appreciated.
Your photos are brilliant Peter!
I always love your photography and I am so glad that you are reaping the rewards of your talent!
Simply wonderful Peter! I’m a nectarine addict too… you should have invited me over to share them! Maybe next time (hint)
Congrats! I know you will be successful. I love all of your photographs. Keep us updated! I’d hire you if I had any money.
I’m jealous of all your summer fruits. But hey, we have pomegranates and cranberries so nah nah nah nah.
Great stuff to hear you are moving forward with your amazing photography skill. cant wait to see your new portfolio.
I miss all the summer fruits like an old friend in our Canadian winter. I live in a fruit and wine belt so the fruit is always freshly picked from the trees, bushes and vines.
These are so delicious & beautiful, makes me want summer NOW!! I can’t wait to see your portfolio, I can learn a thing or two
you don’t know how much inspiration I take from your work!
I miss summer already! It’s snowing over here today and your awesome photos are making me crave the sun.
Now is the time when I sit jealously, waiting for the winter to end. I love nectarines, too, and can pretty much eat my weight in them.
P, stunning works, as usual! We’re now waiting for the second lot of strawberries to enjoy as they are still flowering and bearing young fruits. Raspberry bushes are now full of young fruits and some of them are ready to be ripen in a couple of weeks. Our first plums are smeared with pinkish colour on the skin, a good sign for Summer harvest. I am so excited, P! Yipppiiiiiiiieeeeee!!!
this is the first time i’ve been to your site but WOW! you’re photographs are stunning! keep up the good work ^^
Susan took the words out of my mouth – right from the title of the post to the gorgeous pics
I always forget that it is summer over at your part of the world! I love summer fruit and really miss it…
Chico, I love to have some summer breeze through your coloured fruits! You’ve done a great job with these pictures
. You know? one of the things that gives me more pleasure lately is photographing food too! Can’t wait to see your portfolio 
Hey, if you happen to travel over here…. please let me know, I would be delighted to meet you
Those berry pics just about sent me to the moon. Living in a rural set of the mountains we hardly ever see a fresh batch of berries that look like that. Its May and we have snow coming down outside…yikes! Find your posts always heartwarming and pics amazing:-)
