Blushing Jonathan Apples

The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 11th of January is "anything with A", where a picture of something (person, animal, plant, object) that begins with the letter A is required. Thus, I have opted for some beautiful Jonathan apples, which I photographed in the Nightingale Orchard a couple of years ago, when I visited the town of Wandilligong in provincial Victoria. These beautiful red apples were just too good to pass up on! I hope you like my choice of the theme for this week, and that it makes you smile!

 

Jonathan is a medium-sized sweet apple, with a touch of acid and a tough but smooth skin, good for eating fresh and for cooking.

 

The Nightingale family has been growing crisp, juicy apples in the Wandiligong Valley and alpine surrounds for over 60 years. Four generations on, the Nightingale family have five orchards: two at Wandiligong located 5 kilometres from Bright, one in the Buckland Valley just below Mount Buffalo, one at Stanley, and one in Batlow in southern New South Wales.
