   These are terrific shots, Peter, and a very welcome sight, too, after such a late spring.

   Beautiful photos, Peter. Did not know apples are in the rose family but the similarity is noticeable in your photos.

      The one kind I captured for my post is the Gravenstein variety, a juicy and very delicious apple when newly picked. The other one is a more common variety, which is called Red Delicious, an excellent keeper. Thanks for the comment and all the previous ones! Very much appreciated!

         I have never heard of the first one but the red delicious is quite popular. Apples are not native to India but are not grown in the Himalayan hill region.
         I enjoy your pictures every Wednesday and the conversation too.

   Beautiful images, Peter. I didn’t know that apple trees are related to the rose family, that’s very interesting to learn.

    Love your nature pix and short descriptions. September is when we start getting apples in India.

       My understanding was that apple trees do only well in a few cooler regions of India. I wonder you could tell me if this is so.

          Quite right Peter. The major apple producers are the Himalayan states of Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir with their cooler climate.
