After meeting up with Michelle and Steve, we were taken on a tour of orchards to look for leftover apples. The harvest had already happened, and anything left behind t this point was essentially a reject. Alas slightly uninteresting Gala apples to begin with.10:58:55
These are pollinaters apparently.

Michelle wanted me to take a picture of this fungus.11:00:00

We also managed to find a pear orchard.11:22:59

I think these are Jazz. A bit more interesting than the Gala.12:05:48
