[Leica] Apple Orchards

[Sonny Carter]

I’ve been a fan of honey crisp apples for years, since they first were sent
out from Wisconsin only seasonly.  Now they’re available nearly year round
since I see they’re grown there and I understand we get them in winter from
New Zealand.

Thanks for these shots; makes me appreciate the wonder fruit much more.
