Fruity
This week's theme for You Capture at I Should Be Folding Laundry is fruit, which made me laugh. I'm going to tell y'all a secret that I really don't like people to know because they think I'm so weird, but....
I don't like fruit very much.
I know, I know.
I'm really missing out. Especially in the summer with all that fresh stuff available. But I do think it's pretty.
And I do eat some fruit. Like apples and cantaloupe, but that's about it.
Now Andrew on the other hand hasn't yet met a fruit he won't eat.
And Brian, too. He even eats funny looking things like mangoes and kiwi. :)
I do really like fruit flavored candy though. Does that count? Like green apple jolly ranchers and cherry popsicles...mmmmmm.
My nana loved cherries so much. She also loved to talk during movies, and one lazy Saturday a few years ago we girls were sitting around watching Something's Got to Give. We'd told Nana before the movie started that we really wanted to watch it and we should all save our commentary for after the movie.
Nana was doing so well, watching in silence, until the scene where Diane Keaton washes a bowl full of cherries. Nana just couldn't help exclaiming over their beauty.
They are so pretty, aren't they?

Such pretty cherries! Great photos! I haven't been a big fruit fan either, but I've been eating more of it since I gave up sugar!

I like apples, sometimes. And blackberries. The rest of it I could take or leave unless it comes dipped in chocolate! =>

Great pictures! I love fruit but I rarely eat it. I tend to go for the other snacks first! Not good!

Some things just look better than they taste, right? You definitely made those cherries look divine!
I love the story about your Nana; the more you tell, the more I feel jipped for never having had the opportunity to meet her.

Cherries are actually my least favorite fruit, but you made them look lovely!

I do think cheeries photograph so beautifully - but I won't eat them either!

Beautiful photos! I love the last one. And its ok - but since your tastebuds change every so often, you might want to try new fruits every now and then. I have found some new favorites recently - that I never like before.

I have always said that given a choice between fruit or veggies for the rest of my life, I'd choose veggies! Although I did just buy a big bag of cherries yesterday. LOL! These photos are so pretty! Love the white bowl. (And yes, I do think fruit flavored candy counts! HA!) :)

I'm a horrible eater in general. I like sweets, but I am so picky when it comes to fruits and veggies. I like bananas and peaches if they are cut up a certain way. I'm so weird. These are great.

Such sweet memories, and there really isn't much that is prettier than a bowl of cherries!

The cherry growers of the world would love these photos, I'm sure. Makes me want to eat them all! I love that dish and the lighting in these shots. Beautiful!

Beautiful photos. I'm picky about fruit, too. I like apples, but only if they are green. I like oranges, but only if they are the ones without seeds. I hate bananas. LOL
