In the rain. Did you spot the bonus caterpillar?

Redlove® boasts long-lasting and unusual deep pink blossom, and unique fruit that is dark red, both outside and inside, revealing a beautiful pattern when you slice through it. The juicy, fragrant flesh has a texture that can be likened to a Cox apple, but with an extra range of subtle cherry fruit flavours. A delicious eater, it is also ideal for cooking (it retains its red colour). Try it in fruit salads (it doesn't turn brown), pies, puddings and tarts. Or simply enjoy a glass of mouth-watering freshly squeezed juice!

This apple can be seen at Schiphol Amsterdam International Airport.

The apple is a work of art by Kees Franse from 1975. It is a large apple made of wood. The work is covered with names and messages from passing travelers. These were initially removed by airport staff, but the artist thought this was "a nice addition to his work", and since then the applied texts have been left alone.

Theme: Anything with A!

Looking through the archives for something other than the current snow, I stumbled across a folder that I don't think I've looked at since I took the still life shots!

So from May 2020, when we were in lockdown, I brought in some apple blossom from the garden. Dreams of summer to come 😊

So much Apple Blossom on the apple tree this year. It's around 10 years or so old now which is pretty young for an apple tree I guess. Apple Blossom is symbolic of a lengthy life and "stands for the concept of life continuing, even after we endure a 'death' during the winter of our lives."

I had extra time to play with the processing today so I did. I have been enjoying the freedom I've given myself on this apple project. There is something so gratifying in experimenting with such strong color combos and creating something out of my norm.

Apple fruit moth go! Scram!

HSoS to all participants!

There is a rich apple harvest in the Moscow region this year. I decided to walk along the streets with small private houses and orchards. I was pleasantly surprised by the sweet apple scent. Many residents cannot cope with the amount of apples and, in order not to throw them away, they put bags of apples at the gate for everyone... I also took one bag of sweet and sour apples. I prepare charlotte and thank these kind people.

Surely the apple is the noblest of fruits.

Thanks for views, faves and comments! ;-)

I wondered last year why none of my apples were worth having. Then I found out why.

...on our tree! A bumper crop! Hooray! After I took this shot, I promptly ate this apple. It was delicious! I love it when the apple tree comes through! Our apples are leetle, but delicious!

For Smile on Saturday's theme "Anything with A"

Apple wasn't the most original idea but I had apples and that's what I chose.

Looks like the squirrel has found something he likes! So many apples in various guises around recently, I wanted to put together a scene that incorporated all the pleasure and beauty of these fruits. Taking things new and old and putting them together in new ways, I love how comforting this scene feels.

Old Apple tree,still making Apples.

Apple Trees In Blossom

"The Old Land", is an area located in the southwest of Hamburg, Germany. Farmers have been growing there apples since the 12th century.

Photo taken in the municipal garden behind the Lindehuset at Lindevej in Svaneke, a town on the eastern coast of the Baltic island of Bornholm, January 4, 2025.

Apples – fresh, colorful, and full of vitamins. These carefully stacked crates not only show the variety of types, but also how much power nature has. Every apple is a little health booster.

APPLE – APPLES is the topic for September 20th - 26th, 2025, Group Our Daily Challenge

We found the perfect spot for a perfect day :3

We defiantly went home with lots of apples xD

The moral of it: Apples are like people .. You can pick them all you want but the best ones are the ones that comes to you ❤

Thank you, Daddy for being you :-)

Apple - Agneta

there are lots of apples in Tsawassen rotting on the ground, doesn't anybody make applesauce anymore?

Flowers appearing on my big apple trees now. Lovely to watch from day to day. Some varieties are open already, some still at closed bud stage.

Our Daily Challenge: WATER DROPS ON SOMETHING

Around the beginning of the Great Depression in late 1920, an apple company decided to sell apples to people on credit, who in turn sold the apples. Five cent apple sellers could be found throughout street corners in New York.

The apple selling scheme had several benefits: It helped the apple industry move surplus produce that might never get purchased otherwise, and it helped men earn some money. But more than that, it gave men a small sense of pride. By selling apples instead of begging, the unemployed men still seemed to be in charge of their own destinies. Photographs of men selling the apples remain one of the most well-known symbols of the Depression today.

My new favorite apple, hands down, is the Honeycrisp.

Bought at the farmers' market this past week and enjoyed so completely...

I am weighing my options - I LOVE to eat them just like this, but I found a recipe in the October issue of Bon Appetit for Slow-Roasted Honeycrisps... sounds SO good, but I only have 4 left till farmers' market next Thursday! what a conundrum!
