Yesterday, in between rain showers, we snuck up to Oak Glen, a local area that is known for it's beautiful apple orchards. The air was chilly and misty and full of the scent of freshly baked apple pies. We bought several varieties of apples for cooking and baking and i'll be sharing these recipes with you in the coming weeks.
A perfect story of the apple orchard day without a word...done exactly right! The pictures, especially the first one, are outstanding. You are getting more and more creative, my friend. I loved these.
ReplyDeleteFabulous jacket!! Great post!
ReplyDeletelove your photography! Perfect attire for apple picking.
ReplyDeleteThat first image is worthy of framing...
ReplyDeletewe used to have an apple tree in our garden but it was very old and threatened to fall so it was chopped down...
I do miss the apples it offered...
your trip to the orchard and your attire inspire me...
more lovliness
and I keep going back to see that image of the faded rose pillow and plaid throw from your former post...
how about making some art cards...I'd buy them!

Your pictures are so beautiful & those apples look so good! I've been drooling over apple pie lately. Hmmm I wonder if it's the weather {lol}? Can't wait to see what you’re going to create! I know it's going to be yummy! ;)

You're a modern-day Eve in herringbone tweed tempting us with your apple. I love the last photo where you caught the edge of the umbella in the upper corner of the shot.
ReplyDeleteDear Janet, What a delicious looking apple. Crisp and perfect just as your outfit looks for a country visit.
ReplyDeleteYou're the poster girl for American apple pie! Very cute.

So many of those apples look as though they have gone to waste - nobody making juice? What a shame.
ReplyDelete(Seriously good jacket, Janet!)

Wonderful photos. Now I want to cook an apple tart!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics Janet.
ReplyDeleteMakes me kinda sad though to see all those apples rotting on the ground. Is it a private rather than commercial orchard?
Is there anything better than apple pie?

Very Eve like. Did you drive away or were you cast out?

You are perfectly dressed (as usual) for a fall day, Janet! Very impressive for a trip to the orchard. I would have copped out and thrown on a fleece. The photos are amazing too. Looking forward to your recipes.

Just a few weeks ago a client gave me an apple off her tree and I threw it in my car, days later while driving back from Santa Barbara and starving I found the apple and ate it. Nirvana! it's been years since I had apple off a tree. Wow! PS. just a note, the hairdo is looking pretty good, young lady!
ReplyDeleteDear Ms Janet, What a lovely post. I was inexorably drawn in by the first photo! The colours plus your very stylish jacket really tell me that it is Autumn where you are. Cooked apple and cinnamon is one of the world's most beautiful scents!
ReplyDeleteDear J
ReplyDeleteMy parents live amongst apple and pear orchards and I love apple trees. It's too hot and humid where I live to grow them more's the pity. I'm trying to figure out what to pack and take on my trip and it is quite quite hard. Light packing, as you know is NOT my forte. I'll email you on Monday xxx PS Loving the Height you've actioned din your 'Do- you look so pretty. Do you use hairspray?????
belle de ville - thanks and i think you should.
ReplyDeleteanne marie - they are privately owned commercial farms. no there is nothing better.
jane - good question.
deborah - thank you very much. i will be posting soon.
kevin - there is a big difference, and thanks about the 'do.
linda - i kinda like that first photo too. credit goes to larry on that.
ff - lucky parents. i do not use hairspray.
Seeing you in your last post is something great and I love the way you dress!!
