The photographs presented in today's post were taken in the second half of September 2016. The days were still warm, even hor around noon, and it definitively still felt like the real summer, but the sunlight started having a certain autumnal quality. Things in my garden looked great in that intense yellowish light ...
... so I spent some time photographing the plants in my yard.
Tomatoes were the stars of the show and in this post, when it comes to the number of photographs, they share the leading role with the tangerines. I had a few varieties of tomatoes planted that year. Here you can see the ones called Roma tomatoes or Plum tomatoes.
These are the cherry tomatoes. They were the smallest, and ...
... and in my opinion, the most photogenic.
When making a meal out of tomatoes, I prefer the bigger fruits, but for photography, these lovely red marbles look fantastic. As you surely noticed, the stems and leaves were almost completely dry and brown at that point. Of the whole plant, only the fruits still had a juicy, vital appearance.
Here you can see a group of three big Belmonte tomatoes.
This is a Beefsteak tomato, another big one.
Here you can see a snail on the tomato and in the following photograph ...
... the small fruit fly is posing on the fruit.
Here you can take a look at the fig leaf that is slowly turning from green to brown.
I had a bunch of eggplants too. Here you can see one of those fruits. In the following photograph ...
... you can take a look at the flower.
Here you can see the wildflower with the same color. This is a common mallow flower.
Here you can see another dark and shiny eggplant fruit.
These are the tangerines.
There is only one small, shrub-like tangerine tree in my yard.
The fruits exposed to the sun were completely orange ...
... while most of those in the shade ...
... were still partially green.
There was a nice array of shades from vivid orange to pale, almost yellow, and a bit of green, on those September tangerines.
And that's all I'll tell you about tangerines in today's post.
This is a pepper fruit. I mean, you can see two peppers posing in this photograph.
Here you can see the young, undeveloped fruits of the same plant.
The lovely red fruit, shown in this photograph ...
... belongs to the pomegranate tree. The foliage was still prevalently green.
Only a few dry branches had yellow leaves on them.
This fruit has grown on the top of the tree. I couldn't get close to it without the zoom of my small, half-broken compact camera.
In this photograph, a group of fruits is helping gravity pull the branches toward the ground.
And that's it. I decided to end the post with pomegranates.
Hope you enjoyed the colors in my garden at the end of summer. As always here on Hive, the photographs are my work.
