Color Challenge: Thursday Green--Unripe Mulberries

in #colorchallenge • 6 years ago

Just back from two weeks on a family visit to the US. Once again, I have missed mulberry season. I don't think I've been back for ripe mulberries in 20 years. And seeing these just worsened my longing...

These unripe mulberries are on my childhood favorite tree, which is huge. I failed to take a picture of the immensity of the trunk this time. I wasn't thinking. It is very close to a couple barns, so will hopefully remain a standing gorgeous tree for many years to come. But it was a huge ancient tree when I was little and one of the others did come down years ago and destroy the old chicken house....

Expect a lot more photos in the days ahead, with a mix of stuff from when I was away and some nice shots from here again, since I did make it back home in time for lilacs and the last of the apple blossoms...

The daily color challenges were started by @kalemandra and are open to anyone who wants to enter. A challenge, not a contest.

I also want to enter this shot in the @photocontests run by @juliank. I think I remember right that Thursday is Macro...

        I love mulberries. Used to eat them by the bucketload when I was a kid. Made such a big mess.

          My mother and I made them into jam one year... now THAT was good. A bit overly sweet, but sooooo good. But I'd eat them constantly in season and get purple all over me as a kid. I wonder if that contributes to my liking of purple. And since I ran around bare footed, heading to the mulberry tree and coming back would make the bottom of my feet that dark bluish/purple also...

              You know... I don't think I've ever had mulberries before. I should change that one of these days.
