Apples and crow

The light on this old apple tree near Sunny Farms caught my eye recently. As I tried to capture what I saw a crow arrived to eat an early dinner.

Are these Crabapples??? Can anyone tell out there tell me..what can you make with them besides Crabapple Jelly? I always see them on trees like no one wants them. A great shot, they look so lemony yellow!

Great shot, Kay, with the crow and the light on the apples.

Pat, I thought crabapples were just a dark red all over and no yellow areas, but there could be different varieties I suppose?

Ginny I thought they were Crabapples because they are the only kind you see left on trees…if I had nice apples like this I would have picked them,not left them to rot!

The apples do not rot; ours remain on the trees ’til spring when the birds pick the branches clean. The stark black of the crow really stands out in the photo. Great portrait.

Patricia, I don’t think these are crabapples, which I think are small and tart. These trees are in the parking lot of Sunny Farms. These apples were all at the tops of the trees, out of easy reach, which may have to do with why they’re still there.
