AUTUMN'S BOUNTY

Autumn comes laden with its bounty. It is indeed a season of "mellow fruitfulness, close bosom-friend of the maturing sun..." The figs have ripened until they are luscious and honey sweet. Quinces are fragrant and tart, begging to be made into delicious quince paste, the grapes beckon the vintner, but even to the teetotaller provide a sweet delight with their ripe juiciness. Citrus begins to blush and apples crisp and red give taste buds a treat. Pumpkin, chestnuts and winter cherries vie for attention, but the winter cherries - with their brash overcoats on - win hands down...

    Beautiful photo Nick - food photography is a skill of its own - another one you have obviously mastered.

    Beautiful composition, shapes, colours alike. Just made a butternut pumpkin cake, so delicious.
    What is that red fruit on the left? A kind of gooseberry, but I've never seen a red one before.
