[LRflex] Re: Orchard Photos

Bill.  Thanks for looking and yours are very nice.  Looks like a well
maintained orchard.  I would love to go back to the one I took, but don’t
have to go to work there now and we are getting ready for our trek south to
Death Valley.  A fellow worker said it was very pretty this morning with
some frost control measures being taken.  She did not specify if it was
smudge pots or water, but said she would send me some photos later.

Aram,

 

I enjoyed your orchard pictures very much. I think orchards are nature's
masterpieces.

 

The orchards here in Saratoga, California, some 800 mile south of you, have
been in bloom for several weeks now, in generally sunny weather in the 60s
and 70s. No smudge pots in sight!

 

Last  Saturday was such a gorgeous day that I spent a couple of hours
photographing two orchards nearby, one the Heritage Orchard, which is owned
by the City, and is preserved to remember how much of the land around here
once looked before the influx of homes and businesses in the 1950s replaced
the fruitful orchards.

 

The other orchard, just down the street has been in the hands of the
Novakovich family since 1925 and they produce and sell apricots and other
fruits.

 

The first two were made with an M8 and an Elmarit-M 2.8/24 mm, the third
with the M8 and an Elmarit-M 2.8/28mm.

 

I am trying to learn to use the free JAlbum software and you can see the
photos at:

Comments, etc. welcome.

 

All the best,

At least one orchard has started to bloom, but last night it got to 20F, so
it may be in trouble today.  Here are some shots taken last Thursday and
Friday.  Comments welcome.
