Those who get reports of happenings in Australia will know that the east coast of this island has
experienced an almost biblical downpour these past few weeks. An area of land (estimated to be
approaching the size of France) is either presently underwater with flooding or has recently been
so. Many towns and cities have experienced billions of dollars in damage and thousands of people
are in temporary refuges until they can return to sodden homes. The rain continues as do my still
life images which can still be managed without risk of a drenching.

Hang on. Noah's Ark just floated by. Gee Whiz.
Incidentally, this is a "Pink Lady" apple - absolutely delicious, let me assure you.

When I watch the news I can't believe my eyes.
You know what they say about an apple a day but who could bite into this beauty.

The simplicity of all those curves against one straight stalk.
Can't wait for some of my rare apple tree types to fruit to compare colours.

Lovely close-up of the Pink Lady, I prefer this shot to the B&W. I think people would be skeptical if you identified the B&W as a Pink Lady :-) V

I do hear news reports of the huge rains in Australia. Hopefully the rains and flooding will subside soon.

A beautiful apple, looks like a Fuji. I prefer the color this time. It looks good enough and real enough to eat!! I hope you and Norma are far away from the flooding, tucked in, and cozy!! V
