IF you are saying I submitted more photos than necessary I will make the decision of how many photos I choose to submit, up to 10 per post. I won't rely on you to tell me how many photos to submit. You are not trying to be CONTROLLING, are you?

Since I do not have a 1984 Mac I passed on your second question.

Dennis


The computer question was a bit of history about Mac Computers... meant to be name humor. Not really asking you to reply or implying you're using an old computer. Macintosh was the first Apple computer.

I was praising the single apple photo as being in its beautiful nature and simplicity a strong story statement. i was praising you not meaning to upset you. How often do we see Apples in the natural setting rather we see them in a stack at Walmart with a price tag and code sticker. Your photo was refreshing.

"I will make the decision of how many photos I choose to submit, up to 10 per post." sure

"I won't rely on you to tell me how many photos to submit." Nor should you.

"You are not trying to be CONTROLLING, are you? "
Wow, I stepped on a tender toe.
I was praising your single apple photo... just saying the one-apple photo is a story in itself... well taken and it outshines the multi-apple photo.

While I do appreciate your comments and may have taken them somewhat out of context, for that I apologize, I still reserve the right to post as many photos as I deem necessary to fulfill my artistic desire. Thank you for your comments.

Thank you Sylvia. Do you make pies, cobbler or use them yourself?

Yes I do make different things with them especially like apple sauce to go with pork. Family, friends and neighbours get supplies too.

That sounds great. I used to make apple sauce with a huge funnel grater type thing but that was years ago. Tasted great though. I bet yours does too.

My apple tree is coming along just fine. Actually it is a little too fine as I will be having a crop of maybe Millions of apples, Macintosh, I think in a month or so. But they are good photographic subjects and do make for a fine apple pie.

Looks great, Dennis! Just a thought...if you prune/pick a bunch of the small apples now, the rest of the crop will benefit. When I had apple trees, some needed an early pruning and some didn't, as with other fruit trees.
And, by all means, post away!!! I don't want to get in your sights!!!

Thanks for the comment Chief. To be honest I do need to have all three trees, apple, plum and cherry, pruned by a professional. But in the case of the apple tree there is no need to pick any. Almost every day 30-100 fall from the tree. Maybe in the Spring or when the best time to prune is I will have that done. All it takes is $$$$$ and LOTS of it. I also have a HUGE pine tree to have cut down.

Let me know when you will be in the area. Bring a chainsaw or 5.
