Local Color
This afternoon, when I was making peach crisp (using this recipe--just substitute peaches for apples) I paused when I was halfway through filling the pan and noticed how beautiful the peaches were.

They were perfectly ripe: a little shriveled in their skin, and juicy, with a dark red center around the pit. I washed my hands and got my camera to document the bright colors, so much more intense than those of canned peaches surrounded by syrup.

Of course, it adds a considerable amount of time to stop in the middle to take pictures. I put the camera down and cut the rest of the peaches. Within a few minutes of putting the pan in the oven, the house smelled of cinnamon.

yummmmmm!!
I'm anxious to plant some peach trees! I prefer eating nectarines, but that peach crisp sounds awesome!
The peach crisp was great. I think I like it better cold than warm. And it has oatmeal and fruit in it, so it's healthy, right?
I admire how you found beauty in the simple daily tasks of life. Art is everywhere if we only look.
