Oh yes, I know what you mean Lena, and I am very happy and grateful for your comment. Apple is a sensuous fruit, and it used to be called “pomme d’amour”. Here in some folk tradition in rural areas on some festive days and celebrations girls would offer an apple to boys they liked and that’s how the dating started 😀 Apple has been seductive since Biblical times and I am glad you recognised that quality in my capture. Now, enough about praising me. Do you have something for me today? 🙂

I want to be able to do this! It’s a beautiful symphony of light and shade. That lovely gleam, and detail of the skin, and then the darkness. I don’t know, however, that you should only stick with your own kind, unless this is interpreted very very broadly. For a start, I like dogs, and flowers, and rocks, probably more than plenty of people! Easy and breezy to you too my friend. I’m off to the Jewish museum, so I suspect my day won’t quite be easy and breezy.
