Travel theme: Fruit

Ooh, there’s a distinct nip in the air and harvest time is drawing close up here in the northern hemisphere. Everywhere I turn tree branches are bowed low under the weight of their fruit, which has inspired me to go looking for fruit-filled photos from my travels, like this peach orchard in eastern Washington…

… neatly arranged berries at a Californian farmers’ market…

… and these wooden apple crates lining the roads through Methow Valley’s apple orchards.

In Rome, there were oranges and orange groves galore …

… in Guatemala coffee cherries ripened around future coffee beans…

… and in Ireland sloes dripped heavy from the hedgerows, just waiting to be made into sloe gin.

So how do you like them apples (and oranges and sloes)? If you’re feeling peachy and would like to cherry-pick some photos to create your own interpretation of this week’s theme (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:

About ailsapm

Hi there! I’m Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall. And I’m just getting started. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue - wheresmybackpack.com - and remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.
