Grapefruits, Lemons and Oranges

Monday, 26 January 2009

Did you see the beauty and the blessings around you? I saw them on this beautiful Monday afternoon at a RV Park. All the trees in this RV park had fruits on them. Some trees were just packed with the yellow fruits. Yes, all of them, because I got Mike to drive me around the park so that I can choose the trees I wanted to take pictures of. I would say most of the RV parking lots has at least one fruit tree. It is a beautiful sight for me.

The owner of the trees, we picked the fruits from, was initially annoyed that we didn't ask his permission first, but later said to go ahead, after we told him that the RV park owner had given the green light.

I had asked the RV park owner if this was an orange orchard before the land was turned into an RV park and she said the trees were planted after.

They were not all oranges! I thought they were from the colour.

Angela, don't you wish you could grow these fruit trees in your backyard?

This is a grapefruit tree



This is a lemon tree.



And an orange tree



We just picked 2 of each kind (not exactly, we ended up with 3 grapefruits!). As the owner of the orange fruit tree said, the oranges were not sweet, but they were edible. They were also a little dry too. The grapefruits were juicy :)

Wheat and Rock Melon

Sunday, 25 May 2008

I am impressed with the agriculture here. I thought the yellow field were hay but it wasn't This is the first time I have seen wheat plant.



On the other side of the field is another crop - Cantaloupe. Never heard that term in Malaysia. I knew it as rock melon.
