Lovely pics of them. I would be in heaven if I had all those oranges.
You should can some of those for use later in the year.I love canning my oranges up. You can even do them in slices with the skin on. Then you just taker the slices and place them on hams or what have you can bake. The ones I can in sections I can in a very light syrup and the rinds I zest and dry for later use as dried orange zest or I take the pith off and slice into strips and candy them and dip in sugar after for gifts or even better dip half of the candied strip in chocolate. They make great gifts. Oh they also can great as sections mixed with pineapple. You can also just dry strips of orange peel and use when you kake teas.

The oranges and their juice sound wonderful.
We also feel very lucky to live here in south western British Columbia, Canada, where we have no snow and the spring bulbs are poking thru the soil and snowdrops are blooming. The Annas hummingbirds are visiting our nectar feeders each day.
I lived too long in northern BC to ever want to live in snowy winter conditions.

Miriam, It makes me want to just reach out and pick one!! Dr Oz was talking about the Blood Orange on his show today. Due to it’s flesh color it has more benefits than the others. But there is nothing as good as a fresh sweet orange. Thanks for sharing!

Mmmm, they look so good I had to have something orangey to eat. Ok, the closest thing I have is some orange slice candy (but it’s all natural, from the natural market, so there must be SOME orange in it, right?)I dedicate this to my friend Susan P who is fighting lymphoma, has always eaten healthy foods, and would scold me roundly if she knew I had a mouth full of orange slice candy!

Yours looks so good I want to reach out and pick some.

Such stunning photography! I am from Florida originally and that is where I live, altho I have spent the last month in Md, braving the winter…These luscious pictures remind me of what I am returning to next week! Just lovely! I can smell the orange blossoms from here!

What a pretty color those oranges are! Can’t help thinking of the contrast between the vibrant orange and the stark white we have here: 12 inches of snow, and more continuing to fall.

Just what the doctor ordered on a wintry day in Chicago.
