HOWEVER? WE AS OF TODAY DO NOT HAVE ANY SNOW "YET!" ERGO? I'LL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR WHATEVER NUMBER 1 SON CAN FIND IN FRUIT TREES? THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE WONT BUY SOME IN THE STORE? :-) CHEERS, Ted Grant O.C. -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Aram via LUG Sent: December-06-19 8:47 AM To: lug; Leica Reflex Cc: Aram Subject: [Leica] First Snow I spotted this apple orchard on the way up to the mountains to get our tree and thought that if we got a bit of snow, it would really make for some nice pictures. So, the next day it did snow and I think I was right. This orchard was not picked. While we were gone on our trip, Yakima had a very early cold snap where the temperatures got down to the low teens for a few nights. Not all the apples had been harvested at that time, and the cold temps ruined the unpicked crop, so there it sits. Some orchardists lost 30% of their crop. View them large, please. Bins waiting for a crop never to be harvested. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/W/y/Apples+with+Snow-5013.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/W/y/Apples+with+Snow-5015.jpg.html A few close-up shots. It was posted "No Trespassing" so this is as close as I could get with a 200mm lens http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/W/y/Apples+with+Snow-5006.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/W/y/Apples+with+Snow-5003.jpg.html Now, go buy a Washington apple and enjoy what was actually harvested.
