The sweetness of summer is encapsulated within the ripening oranges.
They are a bright reminder of the long dog days, now but a memory in the deep midwinter.
Within weeks the trees will hang heavy, gravid with sweet citrus.
Then on the long dark nights they will be consumed in front of roaring fires, the summer brought to life once more.
