From the book Johnny Appleseed

by Reeve Lindbergh, Kathy Jakobsen Hallquist

He said he'd bring them apple trees,
Our Lord's gift to the earth,
He said the sun would warm his seeds,
The rain would give them birth.
He said that each good orchard grown
Would bear fruit as God planned,
And give the yearning pioneers
A taste of Promised Land.

After taking many photos I realized that my camera lens had a smudge so there may be a blurry spot... also still trying to work on taking outside pictures when it is bright out.

Photo Challenge #34

Broke Down: Very late but thought this was very fitting.
Submit 3 photos of the same subject from different angles or different distances
Take these as B&W images... Tweaking is OK.

This happened Tuesday night, it was very gusty and this tree either broke due to the wind or maybe it was struck by lighting. The tree is on the neighbor's property but now half of it is on our property, we are all thankful no one was hurt and there is no damage besides the tree.

Not part of the challenge but here they are in color because the color was so vivid.
