Love this shot! Great color. (But I've never heard the phrase love apples before) Nice one -K #118106

Thank you K! I don't know where the term came from. Someone was telling me all about it at the farmers market last week, and I thought it sounded more interesting than "tomatoes in the rain".

Luscious red color, "rain" effects, and composition Ron!! Beautifully done!!! As for the "Love Apple" connotation here is some info:
"Researchers determined that Aztecs developed the tomato, as we know it. When the first conquistadors arrived in Mexico, the red fruit attracted their attention and intrigued their taste buds.
In the 1600’s, they shipped some to Europe, but at first tomato failed to enthuse the palates of Europeans.
Then in a genial strike some “marketing guru” decided to label tomato as an aphrodisiac and named it poma amoris, the French in turn called it pomme d’amour."
Thus the name "Love Apple".
Aloha,
Stan

Thank you everyone for the great comments! Stan, you really came through! I appreciate the detailed explanation! "Pomme d'amour" does sound a lot better than "tomato" in my opinion! I hope K reads this before she makes dinner! Won't her husband be happy!
