Nice etheree, my friend. I too love the fruits of summer: strawberries, peaches, plums, cherries, nectarines, blackberries, and all the melons, especially watermelon. I love all the bright colors and sweet juiciness. I'll have to try a dash of salt on peach slices; that sounds yummy! I had a friend once who would dip watermelon slices in the ocean for that salty flavor. I enjoyed your phrase tangerine evening.
