Scrapbook7


I found this orange peel off of the path between Dorchester and St. John's Pond. It was lying in the grass along with a few other pieces from the same orange. It caught my eye because its vibrant orange color contrasted the greenish brown grass. I picked this particular peel out of the bunch because it still had the tropicana sticker on it. To many people a rind on the ground like that represents the consumption of a fruit. It is directly corrolated with the idea of someone eating orange pieces. Its not art because it was just the natural covering for a delicious fruit. No one artistically put the peel on the orange. It was created by nature to protect the fruit. It deserves our attention for that same reason though. It shows that something can be protective and attractive to the eye at the same time.
