Up Early at the Orange Grove

Posted by lenleatherwood on

I was up at six a few days ago and caught some early morning photos of the orange grove. The light was lovely and the temperature was cool.

The orange trees have three stages of growth right now: mature oranges, green oranges, and orange blossoms. The scent is heavenly. Pickers will come in a few weeks to harvest our mature oranges.

The days are going to heat up to the 90s this week. The nice thing is that the temperature is cool every night. What a treat.

A lovely place to spend my time. I am happy.
