One youthful pleasure I look back on is wandering through Michigan fields with a shotgun and stopping in an apple orchard for a fresh, unbelievable delicious apple. Did it annually for many years.

Wish it was that easy --- just books of negatives on the shelves -- not yet digitized --trying to get at least 20 done a day ...

You needed a shotgun to catch apples?

(Great shot, Joseph)

You called it "stopping" back then? And they never caught you!? Or they were too afraid of your shotgun? ;D

Really like this one with the arches. Everything pulls together.
