Of apples and oranges !

Of an orange, really !

Tried shading in water colour. Not too bad for a beginner, I think.

The colour orange, brings to mind, so many things
Of course, the orange of course,
And the tangy smell that comes
When you are peeling it open
Just the  memory of the sweet sour taste making my mouth water already  !

Then of course there is a memory of buying oranges
From carts loaded with oranges
Of so many sizes and shades
Especially, the "loose jacket" ones.
In the days of "orange season".

And then, Chrysanthemums
In bunches and bunches
And fields full of them
Some with a red tinge on the yellow,
And the smell of crushed petals.

And autumn too.
All in reds and yellows and oranges.
Its like nature is saying
Renew ----.
And I can't decide which of the three is my favourite one !
