Each season brings with it something that we can cherish. And nothing tastes better then seasonal fruit. Whether it's a watermelon in summer, or as it's in this case a pomegranate in autumn. Right now they are still sleeping, quietly growing and getting redder and bigger every day.
Here are some wild pomegranates I took recently during our visit to the old town Pocitelj.

And here is a close-up from last year of the juicy ruby seeds that I just love to eat with a spoon out of a bowl. So good for us too!

daddy had a tree of these in our yard.. i had forgotten what the seeds looked like. i really like the macro of the inside of the fruit. the fruit is so beautiful it looks like ornaments to hang on a Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteIn some arias of the world pomegranates are associated with Christmas, but because of the good weather here in South Europe, they become ripe faster.
DeleteHallo Mersad...das war es was ich meinte ... Einfach Klasse Fotos !!
ReplyDeleteGrüße
Danke vielmals!
DeleteIt must be amazing to taste these so fresh, the wild fruits and the seeds look so alive and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey wary from tart to sweet (or the perfect one that has the right balance). :)
DeleteWunderschön! Und noch dazu lecker...
ReplyDeleteLG
Simone
Danke Simone.
Deletethey look pretty. i do not enjoy eating them, however. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Theresa.
DeleteVery good photo's Mersad....good work again.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Thanks so much.
DeleteThey are hard to eat, yet so very delicious. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteIt does take a while to get the seeds out, and once you start eating them, they do go very fast! :)
DeleteThat's great work on the photos, Mersad. I Have always liked eating those pomegranate seeds, and my husband drinks pomegranate juice every morning with his breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear. We actually buy homemade organic pomegranate syrup that you dissolve in water, it tastes so much better then the boxed juice.
DeleteGorgeous photos, Mersad! It looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGorgeous photos, Mersad! It looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOh my goodness, how well I remember picking out the seeds with a pin. These photographs are excellent, Mersad. Love the effect on the first one.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your good wishes re hubby. I'm back, albeit on an irregular basis. Maybe I'll blog once a week for a while just to keep my hand in.
Thank you for visiting. Again, best wishes to you and your husband.
DeleteThey are supposed to be very very healthy.
ReplyDeleteLovely pics, especially the last one.
Yes, very healthy. Lots of Vitamin C!
DeleteIntriguing photos. I've never seen these on a tree.
ReplyDeleteThey grow a lot over here, so seeing them in trees is quite usual.
DeleteThese little red seeds are precious and look so yummy.
ReplyDeleteLovely series of photos....wondered how pomegranates grew♫ My website: http://lauriekazmierczak.com/648/
ReplyDeleteThe pomegranates are so pretty growing on the tree! The seeds are a beautiful color of red. I have never eaten them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and you nice comment.

DeleteLovely images of a tasty fruit! Thank you for sharing with us today!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting Kim.
DeleteI look forward to this time of year when I can find pomegranates in my local grocery store, but I have never seen them growing!
ReplyDeleteThere are some places here where you can pluck them from trees for free.
DeleteThese are gorgeous shots of a beautiful fruit...I was first introduced to them by my grandfather and I can remember how much fun we had spitting out the seeds....great memories....
ReplyDeleteThanks too for your advice on "light" in photography...I read your article and it works. Thank you so much....
Glad I could help out. Thank you for visiting.
DeleteGorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteJust wow. Love the softness and detail -- if that makes any sense. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Thanks!
Deletei'm seen them growing, but never tasted fresh from tree pomegranates; i'v had the store bought carton juice but thats about it; have a beautiful Thursday
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Thanks for visiting! As I have written in some of my previous comments on this post: try finding the organic syrup. Much better then store bought carton juice.
DeleteI eat almost anything but there are a few fruits with slithery seeds, like the pomegranate, the texture of which I really do not find appealing. It certainly makes a beautiful photograph though.
ReplyDeleteIt can be bitter if you catch the white part around the seeds. My dad usually does a good job of cleaning them up for us! :D
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you Meri.
