gumdrops

i looked at these all afternoon long, and all i could think was, “candy.” and eventually i couldn’t help myself, and had to photograph them like a rainbow roll of gumdrops on white paper. one of the great pleasures of being back in the mediterranean is the simple fact that fruit tastes like candy here, and is sold ripe, so that the long, unfolding fruit season is like a garden of delights, from the first strawberries to cherries to apricots to plums to peaches to nectarines to grapes to figs to blackberries to pears to apples to pomegranates to quince to persimmons. it reminds me every time just how sadly rare it is back home that i get to meet a perfect fruit, and how strangely life enhancing good fruit can be.
