    Pat, I had to zoom to 400% to see it for sure, but her thumb and forefinger are definitely holding top and bottom of a pale roundish fruit. She's not leaning on the branch.

    Here is a little better close up. Looks like something is def. between her fingers.

    It's the size and shape of an apricot or a similar small, oval fruit. Those look like motoring gloves to me, but ladies that went motoring usually wore gigantic hats with veils. This looks more like a man's hat. Maybe she borrowed her companion's hat for the photo. She does have an impish smile. I have photos from this era of my ancestors out picnicking in the fields. It was quite common.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I'm certain that her dress is 1880s. I think late in the decade. Could be 1890, but not really later.
