happy friday:

March 16, 2012


Happy Friday! So I forgot blood oranges were in season and was pretty excited when we went to the farmer's market and there they were! I may have gotten carried away with taking photos of these but I have to say blood oranges are definitely one of my favorite fruits. Top 5 for sure! Along with cherries, pears, raspberries, and mangos.. yum. What are your favorite fruits?


They're just such a cool fruit and super sweet! Has anyone ever not tried a blood orange? I may have eaten 4 or 5 in the duration of taking these photos ;) So what are you up to this weekend? I mentioned I'm in New Orleans.. we have a pretty packed schedule but I am excited to explore on Sunday on my own. Thanks for all your suggestions from the other post. Hope you have a wonderful weekend friends, see you on Monday!

27 hello's:

  1. I've never tried a blood orange but I am an orange fanatic! What does a blood orange taste like compared to a regular orange?

  2. Oh my goodness - I just had them for the first time last week and fell in love :) I'm partial to blackberries, myself.

  3. Blood oranges are awesome! It's definitely one of my favorite juices. My favorite fruit however is the pomegranate; they're so exotic, and so much trouble to eat but they are soooo delicious! I also love how significant they are in mythology, especially with Persephone and Hades. Ancient fruit is awesome!

  20. I always thought that blood oranges seem like such a sinister and sinful fruit, like the right kind of temptation kind of way...

  21. Great photos! Really good arrangements, I love the font on the cream cheese box. Blood oranges are great as well...

  22. Amazing photographs! I would love some quick advice on the sizing of your photographs. I love how they all fit together like a puzzle and everything is in proportion. Can you share what you size your photos to (both landscape, portrait and the 2 side by side portraits). And do you put them together in photoshop? Thanks so much.

  23. I have never tried a blood orange before, but now am very curious what the difference is from a regular orange!

    Philippine mangoes are my fave :) and strawberries (especially with nutella!).
