Last apple hanging

We have a lot of fruit trees on the property, and this tree in the front garden was absolutely laden with apples this year. We hosted our traditional apple picking party for the embassy community in October, but still there were many apples left on the highest reaches of the tree. This was the last one.

Good to leave a few for the birds. And it looks like an ornament on the snowy tree.

The eyes go straight to the survivor in this mini jungle! Nicely placed off center in the frame. V

Great capture. Sometimes we just don;t want to give in to the inevitable.

It really stands out against the snow laden branches. A nice little pop of color in a pretty winter scene. V.

Wonderful capture Helen. Without the apple it would have been a great shot. With it it's a superb shot. V
