It has probably become apparent to anyone who keeps up with this blog, that I have a certain orchard that has become a favorite location of mine....especially when photographing my kids. My rationing on the subject is due to the fact that I am kind of drawn to green, luscious, and alive. New Mexico is more brown, spiky, and dirt. I had been toying with the idea of this back to school shoot for my girls, but I was waiting till my apple orchard had some juicy red apples. I was there last month with a family and we were met with many baby apples getting ready to ripen. I would guess mid-September to late September would be perfect. So, it came as a complete shock, when driving my daughter to preschool, to find apples littering the sidewalk in front of a house. I thought I still had a few more weeks!?!
