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.

A few close-up shots.  It was posted "No Trespassing" so this is as close as 
I could get with a 200mm lens

Now, go buy a Washington apple and enjoy what was actually harvested.

Comments welcome
