As Crisp As An Apple
iPhone photography: Apples, satsumas and rose hips.
Today is one of those autumn days that’s as crisp as an apple. I’ve been playing around with my camera and water colours, drawn to a bold and fiery colour palette, textures and contrast. Quite different from last week’s romantic, dreamy Full Harvest Moon Dreamboard and Montage.
I’m planning a new collection in the series of Luminous Folder Icons, inspired by autumn and Halloween. This time in hot, spicy shades of orange and cayenne, perhaps adding some earth tones with cinnamon, umber, ochre, and sienna.
And best of all, finally satsumas are in season! Zesty, sweet and tangy taste of sunshine, with that light spray of satsuma oil as you peel them.

Hi Kate,
You have a beautiful blog.
Gorgeous photo and that gift is soo nicely warped! Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!
Autumn icons would be delightful!!! And I love the composition! I am amazed how you take the ordinary and find the secret beauty in it.
@Dana, you made me laugh! Yes this photo is rather oversaturised… I’m not really sure what the difference between satsumas, mandarines and clementines is, but here’s a Wikipedia-link to satsumas:

@June, thank you! So glad that came across!
@Jacqueline, thank you and yes the gift is so beautifully wrapped that it makes up half of the present!
@Sandy, thank you kindly!
@Stephen, how beautifully written, it makes me happy if I can pass on those moments of beauty… thank you! And yes, I think it’s time for some new Luminous icons, it’s refreshing to make a visible fresh start on one’s desktop sometimes!
Take care everyone and thanks so much for your comments!
mmmmmm! Love that picture of the fruit! I need to try some satsuma!!! Your blog is gorgeous!!!! Will be perusing back through your posts!!
Thank you so much Rani! Yes, satsumas come highly recommended!
On a side-note, and unfortunately, the link in your signature, to your blog doesn’t seem to be working.
See you in and out of the fish bowl!
Great pic of the fruits! So warm and vibrant!! Love the gift wrapping too.
I’m not sure of the difference between satsumas, clementines, and mandarins either, but I have noticed that Brits tend to talk more about ‘satsumas’ and Americans about ‘mandarins’!
Love the vibrant colors and the funky plate that the fruits are sitting on!
Lovely photo!! My favorite colors…
Wini, Michele and Julia, thank you for your appreciations! And thanks for clearing out the difference between satsumas and mandarins!
Sorry I’ve taken so long to respond, it’s been a busy week!
Kate,
Your new pic is beautiful! I had never heard of satsuma. I googled it because I couldn’t tell from the pic if it was a pear or what. Ha Ha.
you can feel the warmth as the sun bounces off the fruit! Wow!
