Favorite Photo Friday - apple picking season



Photobucket


Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird 
I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

It was a gloriously beautiful day Saturday and we made the little trek down
to our favorite apple orchard.
As I recall Grace and I first came here on a pre-school field trip when she was 4.
We've made it a little family tradition to come here every Fall.
One year it was so cold that we had our Winter coats on and it even snowed a little.

We still have plenty of apples left, and now I'm thinking I better get going on some baking this weekend.

And if you're interested, my favorite of this series is the below image,
a candid of Grace and William picking raspberries.
I love Grace's expression.

Happy Friday!

Beautiful!! We're off to do some apple picking this weekend I'm hoping. Looks like fall has fallen in your neck of the woods. :)

I needed that quote about autumn yesterday when my blog was being re-designed. It would have been PERFECT since I too would travel the world for successive autumns. Your pictures are so beautiful. I especially love the colors Grace wears!!

Sharon said...

Just gorgeous! I love that last one too.

Absolutely my favourite too! It's stunning. And it looks like your littles were having so much fun!

My favourite shots are definitely the every day life ones you catch without your subject realizing!

Missed you too. Nice to be back for a visit. Have a great week-end!

Gail,

I love this set of pictures. I feel really struck by how tall Grace is getting. Has she had a growth spurt?

Really Gail, these pictures are really something. I feel like you should make applesauce!

What a beautiful orchard. LOVE all your photos!!! We had hoped to take the girls to an orchard this past week during Fall break but EK has been so sick and we found out Thursday she has mono. Will be nursing her back to health before we head to China. :O LOVE Grace's outfit~ such color!!! Will is adorable too! We decided this week we are going to name our Will~ William Perry Minzhong Ankerich... keeping Perry since it is what he is called at SF~ a tribute to their amazing care of him. What do you think? I think I saw on FB where someone was coming 10 hours to get you to shoot their family. I think we are coming too. LOL XOXO
