Apple Trees

This is a set of photos from a recent friend, H. W.'s place.

 

There is a beautiful, very rural place a new friend of mine lives. She is in her 80s and lives alone on this land, which was once her great-grandfather's. It was once a Wells Fargo stagecoach stop. H. has long lived there alone, without electricity. She has beautiful things growing everywhere including many apple trees, bearing now. Her water comes from a spring down the mountain and is pumped to a tank near her house by a gasoline powered generator which she goes down to turn on when necessary to fill up her tank. She has one small solar panel for one small reading light - and a house full of books.

 

The light and colors up on that ridge top inspired me every moment... and so did everything H. said and did! What a heroine.

 

Please see this set (H.W.'s Place - to right of this image) on black, as slide show (though there is info below some of the pix)
