The beginning of every fruit.

Every flower is potentially one fruit...if someone doesn't come along and pick them of course! However, we wouldn't want every bloom to be pollinated as the tree would be very stressed (as would the orchardist who has to thin the fruit out!)

Apple on orchard floor

New Mac Studio up and running. Much better Lightroom and Photoshop experience. Stacked and blended 3 photos for better focus with the projection lens.

Medium white apples in the red basket of an apple picker.

Close up of the pink blush on a medium sized white apple. The apple is slightly conical and has a bug spot in the middle of the blush).

Stem end of a white apple with pink blush. There skin is green around the stem, but there is no clear russet.
