A couple of weekends ago I spent a lovely day apple picking with friends in Saint-Hilaire at the Verger Petits et Fils. The first half of the day was cold and wet, perfect timing for a crepe lunch and a cider tasting. To bad the sky was so grey: you cannot see the autumn leaves at their most colorful. I do love the shot from the restaurant window however.
But the sun came out to play in the afternoon just as we hit the orchard. My friend Yan got the awesome pics. Come join us on the tractor ride with this tantalizing visual tour as we picked some Empires, Cortlands, McIntosh and Spartans. Recipes to come…at some point!

How I wish I could pick apples too! This sounds really fun! 😀
Such a wonderful activity! i have never gone to apple picking, must have been quite an experience!
Wow! Great photo of the apple. Rain Drops… Reflexions of sunlight. I want to eat apples now. I haven’t picked an apple recently, however last spring I picked bamboo shoots at the top of mount Anupuri in Niseko Hokkaido Japan. We had to go to the top of the mountain for that. I should put the photos on my tumblr.
so what is your favorite apple recipe?

I also have never gone apple picking. Wish I could have tagged along with you. Your photos are great and that sky is something else.
I’ve never been apple picking. Your pictures are so lovely I can see I’m missing out on some fun!
Some apple recipes would be great. I haven’t baked anything with apples in it for a while.
Apple picking is fun! My parents just went, so I got a bunch of apples from them 🙂
Can’t wait to see what apple recipes you are going to come up!
This is something that I would have loved to do! Wonderful shots!
Noipe..this is NOT wordless…there are words at the start of the post! LOL That said..I love apple picking but didn’t get to do it this year and now the season is ending.,.oh, well. BUT, i enjoyed your photos and living it through them..as best I can ;D
Looking forward to your apple recipes!!!
I’m not sure if my last comment went through, so sorry if this is a duplicate!
Apple picking is so much fun! Your photos are lovely…the trees are stunning and I also like that shot of the ominous-looking sky!
I’ve never been to apple picking before. I wonder if my area has apple trees around as I’ve never looked into it. Unlike peaches or berries, you can keep apples for a long time so it’s so worth getting the fresh apples from the orchard!
