Late August, the sun is shining longer each day, the coldest part of winter is behind, the grass is growing longer each day, the mandarins will soon be picked. All this on WPD. August 2024.

We eat them fresh off the tree and many are made into marmalade also.

Very healthy looking mandarines, Graham. Down here we've had a dry spell while they're developing, so poor quality and undersize fruit this year.

Ours are are a bit mixed, some normal good size as in the photo but others are small and hard. These and the orange tree have been picked as some from each tree have been eaten by flying foxes.

I was smiling when reading your description, because "...late August, the sun shines shorter every day, autumn is approaching and winter is waiting behind it..." This is what I could say;-))

Love the light of the changing season in your photo. You've not only made the mandarins very appealing, but the composition is very gentle and soothing. Delighful photo.

How cold does it get during winter where you are? Seems like it must be fairly mild if you can have mandarins already ripe.

Hi Laura, it usually doesn't frost at my place here on a ridge though lower places get frost. It has got a bit warm. August can be cold but not this year, July was the coldest and June was colder than usual.

So interesting that lower places might get frost - I would think just the opposite. But hey, you are living opposite of me, so why not? haha.

peace.

The lower areas have less breeze and they just get colder and frostier.
