Apple picking

When the air starts to chill, it’s time for harvest on the farm.  Wandering through the orchard like a deer to smell the sweet aroma of fruits and listening to the whisper from nature is a nice escape from the hectic city.

All the apples were ripe and begging to be picked.  Simply grabbed and giving a slight twist, the apple was free from the branch on my hand. It has been over a decade since the last time I picked fresh apples and a lot of sweet memories were brought back. Spending time with friends and family in the orchard to appreciate the hard working farmers while celebrating the harvest, this was the festivity of the fall season.  The basket wasn’t just filled up with fresh apples, but also our laughter and joyful moments.
