For most of the country apples are a fall crop. But here along the Texas Gulf coast they happen in early summer. This shot was from an earlier, wetter time.

I have never really harvested any apples from my apple trees. We live just too for south. It gets way too hot way too soon for the fruit to get any size. I usually eat a few each year, the birds eat even more. But, if for no other reason, I am glad I planted these two trees when we moved out here 15 years ago just to be able to take pictures of the flowers. I never tire of taking new photos of apple blossoms. You’ll have to forgive me…
