This apple tree is from a volunteer seed, planting itself amidst a forest of tall cedars, pines and fir. For years it really struggled to reach the sunlight, but managed to stretch itself up sufficiently to get what it needed, and was still able to produce a load of apples for the deer in our woods. Now we have cleared out some of the trees around it and it has more light, and has been pruned into a more shapely tree, but I don't know that it thrives the better for it. Still it makes a beautiful site reaching it's arms high in the light.

Beautifully done. Very Sorolla in color palette, light, contrasting dark shadows.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and for your comment. My Camino was a very Zen experience and a great outlet for a former marathon runner. I loved the whole experience and hope that I will have the chance to embark on other Camino trails in Europe before too long.
It seems as if we have a lot in commun, since I am now a trail runner, a painter. We visited Flagstaff and Sedona this past spring break....simply Awesome!!!!!!
