In Search of Cider

It seems it was only a few days ago that I was dreading my morning walk to the bus, the 85 degree weather guaranteeing my shirt would be unattractively stuck to my back by the time I got to class. Then this morning I awaken to my husband fiddling with the heaters – fall is here! And with it, apples.
Washington State is apparently apple country, so we headed out to Bishop Orchard, about half an hour from Pullman in Garfield, WA to see how they do it ’round these parts.
The day was that perfect autumnal mix of crisp and clear (good for pictures!).
Cider was pressed.
For some reason, I liked the luscious looks of this apple must.
A wasp liked it too. Can you find him? (Click the photo for a hint)

Ha, the sad part is we went in search of cider, but they wouldn’t let you have any unless you pressed your own. I didn’t have the time/energy, so we went back to Pullman and got cider at the coffee shop.

No! you’re kidding.
South Africa does not grow apples?

I love Bishops Orchard! You will definitely have to try making your own cider, it is well worth the effort and its a bunch of fun. Love your pictures, they are fantastic.
