I made crab apple jelly with the crab apples the children and I picked at school. I have been looking through 'The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady', which is a book I have loved for a long time, and recently found a copy of in a charity shop. It is a nature journal with lovely watercolours, notes on weather, finds and also poetry. I wanted to take a picture of my jelly in the sunlight, as it is an amazing amber colour. It tastes good too-nice with cheese and biscuits. I bought four jars, in a massive overestimation of how much the apples would make-but half a jar is better than none! The first page pictured is a painting of those red and white toadstools, and the second is of crab apples and sloes-which I have also been using this week. I love the feeling af autumn the photos gives me. For more shadow shots from around the world, visit Tracy at HeyHarriet here.

Beautiful photo's. Love the shadows as an extra
I would love to try this jelly, paired naturally (to someone in the USA) with peanut butter on bread. Homemade has its own quality, and no doubt the students have a proud sense of ownership in a job well done.
The artistry of the old days is nice, the art of nature never out of style!
I still haven't picked our crab apples - they don't go very far, do they? - but the resulting jelly is such a delicious rich colour and it tastes good, too:-) Well done, you!
Delightful photos and shadow shots for the day! Lovely and so colorful! Hope you're enjoying a great weekend!

very satisfying autumnal shots....
your shadows are as beautiful as the light of your heart which shines through everything...
Prize winning photo! The jelly is like jewelry.
Lovely. The Jelly looks wonderful and shines so in the light. Have a great weekend.
Gorgeous...and delicious shadows as well!! That book looks lovely - pair it with biscuits and jam make for a lovely afternoon!
The ruby glow of your crab apple jelly is pure delight, Sarah... as is the light and mood of these photos! 'The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady' is one of my favorite books, and I take it down to look at and read often during each season. I found mine at Any Amount of Books shop in London, Charing Cross Road, near Leicester Square--happy memory just finding the book. :o) Happy Weekend ((HUGS))
What a nice combination of textures and colours (and the jelly is beautiful) - altogether, so autumnal!
This is really cool!!
This is so lovely and mesmerizing...
