Apples red and green

Autumn continues, and so do the apple still life paintings. In our place here in Nelson, apples really are the last serious crop to come in. We have had figs and feijoas, the last of the blue berries and even the odd strawberry, but it is always impressive just how many apples are still on the trees.

I went for a walk through the orchard early this morning and gathered these red and green apples. Red Delicious and Granny Smith. I think that they may a lovely contrast in the bowl.
