August Apples in Ham Lake MN by Teri Eckholm Realtor

We can always tell when the apples on the tree in our Ham Lake backyard are ready to eat as the white-tailed deer come out of the woods and start picking them off the branches. These were a bit out of reach for the doe and fawn that were in our yard so they were ours!

Guess that means there won't be any doctors around? It's getting to be that time of year all over.

Teri, That shot is gorgeous....the colors and clarity. I'd be taking pictures and then picking them to eat.

Teri -- Awesome photo...love how blue the sky is in the background. Makes me wish I were still in VA...apple picking season is just starting. It was an annual family outing for us.

Brian--I guess the deer love apples no matter what state they are in! :)

Ed--Wouldn't it be nice to eat an apple and avoid the flu shot at the Dr's office?

Sep 03, 2009 01:18 AM

Carole--You know me too well...that is exactly what we did!

Sep 03, 2009 01:24 AM

Karen--That was very nice of you to say...I love taking photographs!

Sep 03, 2009 01:25 AM

Michael--Actually it was apple crisp...Two batches and all gone now! :)

Sep 03, 2009 01:27 AM

Anna--Our southern relatives tell us that they miss the crisp, sweet Minnesota apples...They are just not as good in the warm southern weather. Glad you enjoyed the photo...and memories!

Sep 03, 2009 01:29 AM

Yvette&Dennis--It is for some of the varieties of apples...Others are ready in late Sept or Oct. But these are as good as they look now!

Sep 03, 2009 01:30 AM

Judy--We used to make trips to the orchard but now it is just out to the backyard. Apple orchard visits are a fun family activity in MN too.

Sep 03, 2009 01:31 AM

Lynda--I only wish I could paint like that...my paintings would only be appreciated by those who prefer abstract art...lol. Glad you like my photography though! :)

Sep 03, 2009 01:32 AM

Toula--They were ripe and sweet enough to eat...In fact I think they were picked and eaten shortly after the shot was taken. :)
