The Things I See
California Oranges
Posted by Craig (Vacaville, California, United States) on 5 January 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
On my morning stroll, I noticed these growing on the other side of a fence just out of arms reach. But, my camera captured them all!

Mmmmm! They look like they will be quite tasty! Excellent DoF here.

Lovely capture, Craig. I'll bet this area smells heavenly when the trees are flowering.

I'd grab a pole and make sure I could gather a few up ha ha
A splendid photograph, lovely perspective and DOF. Feels like summer in the middle of all this cold.

oh wow that looks appetizng, I'd love to be able to reach out and have one...fantastic photo Craig...Are you allowed to take one?

@Lorraine: It is legal to take one only if it is hanging over on your side of the fence. However, I believe this law was only meant as a guideline and if you can reach one it's yours! Furthermore, it is amazing how these very oranges have magically defied gravity to fall sideways, disproving Newton's theory altogether, only to land on the public side of the fence! :0)

Wonderful composition and selective focus. Delicious.

The blobs of diffused colours of the background oranges really make the shot for me. I love it.

Wonderful DOF, they do look very tasty, must have been tempting to try and reach that little bit further and grab one or three

This time of year I see these quite often, only they are Florida oranges. Point being, I think that wherever they grow, orange trees covered with fruit are wonders to behold. Great capture Craig.
