Grin and Bear Fruit

There are a lot of trees around our compound, and the ones near the gate - particularly the mango trees and the santol trees are very prolific around summer time.

Around April to June, it's normal to see our neighbours picking fruits and distributing it around the compound. That's why we usually have a steady supply of fruits around that time.

But it was only this week that I noticed that there are also a number of fruit-bearing trees in our part of the compound. Needless to say, I had to take a few snaps:

There's an atis tree which already had a few fruits. They weren't ripe yet, though, so we have to wait a month or two.

Then, there's a dayap tree that also has a lot of fruits on a regular basis. Our neighbours would get them for either juice or their cooking.

Maybe I should walk around the compound a bit more often to look for other fruit bearing trees. I'm sure there are still a couple that have yet to be discovered. Because seeing things like these make me grin.
