Oranges and Lemons











It's that time of year again, when the oranges and lemons are nearly ready to be picked.  It seems as if I live in a field of yellow and green and everywhere I look there are lemon trees.  Spring will soon be here, the almond trees are just starting to flower and that is a sure sign! 

Watercolour 25x18 cms

These are so beautiful, Cathy. My next door neighbor just brought me a big bag of oranges and lemons from her yard. You and I may live thousands of miles apart, but we share the glorious abundance of these little gems this time of year!
