Fruit Trees
Here are some apple trees just off Route 25 that I pass heading towards Portland. Nature's quite amazing, really. These trees are encased in snow and ice in March, but by the end of September I'll be stopping by the Randall's apple stand for a peck of Cortlands, one of my favorite types. With four kids in the back of the station wagon, each trip to the Terrison's Orchards in Cumberland with Mom and Dad meant a bushel wooden box would accompany us back home. Things have changed since back then. Change happens in families and in orchards.
It always does.
I can live with that.
nice layers in this!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that they looked very much like fruit trees. Blue sky, 67° here and laundry hanging to dry at the window for the first time in 2014...
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see the September photo and compare the two.
ReplyDeleteI grew up near apple orchards and when the season rolled around I was always wanting apple cider.
ReplyDeleteThings haven't changed that much Birdman, you're still coming home with apples :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I was last able to visit an orchard. I do enjoy visiting them and the products they sell.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could grow apple trees here, but no! And this time of year our apples come from other parts of the world. Probably not as good as your Cortlands!
ReplyDeleteIn about a month or six weeks these trees should be a riot of blossoms. Perhaps you could return for another photo?
ReplyDeleteSee you next spring!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that this winter will end!
ReplyDeleteYou have something to look forward to...apple blossoms and then the real thing.
ReplyDeleteYep, as Taken for Granted suggests, would love to see another pic of these trees in blossom . . .
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot!
ReplyDeleteMy cousin took on the apple orchard my uncle and aunt started, and this time of year, he'll be getting things ready for spring, hoping that there won't be a frost after the snow's gone.
Nice Winter shot.
ReplyDeleteChange....it is inevitable.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, moody photograph. And yes, nothing is stable, everything changes - including us.
