Nothing says Fall is approaching like ripening apples on a tree.
Four years ago we planted a dozen apple trees and a few peach trees. The apple trees consisted of a mix of Honeycrisp and Northern Spy varietals. Honeycrisp is our favorite snacking apple and Northern Spy is our favorite pie apple. This season is the first year we have a crop of apples worthy of consumption.
The image above is of a Honeycrisp apple in early August about 4 inches in diameter and has approximately four weeks remaining to be picked...if we can keep the kids away that long! The apple was photographed with the Canon EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens and slightly cropped in Adobe Lightroom.
Have a great day!
