For us as a family no Fall is complete without a visit to a local apple orchard.
Where (on Saturday) some raspberry tasting was done.

And on our trek up the hill to the orchards, we met a couple of new friends.
I don't know what he was thinking when I captured the image below,
but shortly after that Will said,
"That's a big horse, Mommy!"

At the top of the hill there were rows and rows of apples.
And more varieties than we could imagine.
So they started picking a few.
And munching.
And playing...
We came home with bags of tasty apples.
So far I've baked 2 apple pies (one to eat and one I gave away).
I still have apples on my kitchen counter.
Will is my apple lover and eats at least 2 a day.

This was a dreary and rainy morning,
thankfully the rain stopped just as we arrived.
To me there's nothing better than spending time with family
on a weekend day like this.

Love, love, love the one with the apple on Grace's head. Adorable!! And oh my goodness, that horse was, like, freakishly huge! :)
Cute pictures! They look fabulous in black and white!
Oh goodness I love these! I love the one of Will and the horse! That is a moment to share when he's 17! Beautiful as always my friend and most definitely inspiring as well!
Gail...
Each post of yours gets more and more amazing. I love these pictures! They make me feel as if I was with you every step of the way (thank you btw, since I won't be seeing any apple orchards around these parts).
It's hard for me to pick a favorite. I believe your kids don't even notice you clicking away anymore. They are enjoying themselves and it shows through every photo. Beautiful....
Happy Wednesday!
Hugs,
Grace
wow, was a gorgeous spread of pictures. Makes me want to head to the apple orchard and make some pies. Our thanksgiving is in two weeks!
Thank you, for getting my day off to a great start.

PS. I think you should open a quaint little shop and sell your beautiful pictures.
Beautiful pics...we LOVE to apple pick every September as well..so sad that this year looks like we will have to skip it:(
These are awesome Gail, that does look like a perfect fall weekend!

Love these shots - especially the last one of Grace and the apple on her head. So creative.
Seems we were thinking the same thing again this week with our apple orchard theme. (Kindred spirits!!) =)
I'm glad you're enjoying the fall and taking full advantage of all the artistry out there. I just went into your photography website again (for a visit ya know) and am so inspired by your style and eye. Really great work!!
Enjoy your week!
