Round, orange objects

My camera died and has been in the shop for a few weeks. It's all better now, thank goodness. 

The repair order states, "Cleaned mud and dirt out of camera interior."  

I can understand how a little dirt might work its way in there, but the mud remains a mystery.

Anyway, I walked around yesterday taking a few shots to make sure everything worked properly.

Nothing blog-worthy was happening, but these three share a theme: round, orange objects.

The curve-billed thrasher I promised not to pester while she sat on her nest,

so I used my extra-long lens.

The one-a-day tomato plant, or at least that's the rate at which these have been ripening so far.

None have made it into a salad. I eat them the moment I pick them. 

The one and only Smooch.
