Winter Apples

Winter Apples
Here's something a little different. This was taken in eastern Washington along State Highway 2 in an orchard where all the apples had been harvested but those on this tree and I have no idea why. Thought it a neat picture though the colorless sky made it somewhat difficult to get a decent shot.

Viewed large, there are a few apples left on other trees, too... Some farmers believe in leaving part of he harvest behind as a gift to nature or the poor as part of their thanks for an abundant harvest. Kind of like in the Bible where they would leave parts of their fields unharvested and allow the poor to take that share of the crop.

OR, maybe that one tree didn't have the same type of apples as the rest and they left it for the critters.... When you pick en masse for the market, you want all the apples to be the same variety.

OR.... They just plain missed it... LOL!

Whatever the case may be, it makes for a wonderful shot =)
