I had a vision of my antique enamelware pitcher filled with those branches, and I knew I'd be back with my pruning shears to make my vision come to pass.
It's so satisfying when something turns out every bit as lovely as I imagined it would be. It was a joy to photograph this simple still life. No other props were needed, the beautiful crabapple branches with their green fruit blushed with a touch of red in the old white and blue enamelware pitcher is perfect in it's simplicity, in my opinion.

So pretty! What a great idea to bring them indoors as decor!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Betty!
DeleteGrowing up, we had a huge crabapple tree in our front yard. It was spectacular when it bloomed. And, yes, I had a few tummy aches from eating it's fruit, lol. Dad used to make crabapple jelly - yum. Your images speak beautifully of summers spent enjoying the simple things in life!
ReplyDeleteI need that crabapple jam recipe! No one else is going to use those crabapples and they'll just go to waste!
DeleteOh my gosh, yes it is!! Love these, I must pin!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kristy!
Deleteit looks really beautiful but the environmentalist in me is also slightly sad that you cut them down.

I agree, these shots are perfectly perfect just that way they are. Anything else added would have taken away from the simplistic beauty of the scene.
