Apple pickin'

On this gorgeous blue sky thanksgiving day we went apple picking. Sort of. 

 

The orchard was on the grounds of a chateau and is only open to the public this one weekend a year. 

 

The orchard is also not a commercial orchard so the trees are very tall and any harvesting equipment is BYO.  

So some creativity was required.

 

Most of the year the orchard is a cow pasture and the cows were eager for some apples.
