APAD(ish) #10: Cones

[nonelvis]

We went apple-picking today, and I saw these on the ground:




Apple-picking is one of our autumn rituals: it's fun, it's social, it's picking your own food, it's playing in the trees. Also, there are cider doughnuts at the end.



Apparently the heavy rains we got earlier in the summer made for a bumper apple crop. The Macintoshes have never been so plentiful, large, or delicious. (We also picked Cortlands, Empires, and Mutsus.)



The orchard we usually go to keeps some farm animals around, including some lively goats:



I have more photos from today but am holding them back for APAD on Sunday and Monday. You'll just all have to live with the suspense until then.

I really like the one of the ladder; I don't have art learnings, but the angle works nicely and stuff. And pygmy goat zomg.

Thanks! I'm very happy with the ladder photo too. I sometimes feel like I luck into shots like that; I've developed a better eye over the years, but I often have a hard time getting the shot to look the way it does in my head.

ETA: Excellent choice of icon, btw.

I like the ladder, too. However, may I point out that a photo you took today is not really a photo of the day for Sunday or Monday! :P

It's APAD(ish), not APAD ;)

I WASN'T GOING TO SAY IT.

I'm sure I'll like the pictures, anyway :).
