[quote=vicksart]It looks like we'll have more pears than we can manage this year. I may have to cull some when they're small. I took lots of shots morning and afternoon, but preferred the afternoon light on this one.[/quote

This is beautiful, Vicki. The blossoms are so pure and delicate. You captured them in beautiful light.
Thank you Carol. I went out to get more shots yesterday afternoon but the blossoms are gone! I think the wind stole them.
It's a good lesson to get shots when you can and live in the moment.Apr 15, 2019 11:07:19 #

Great shot Vicki.
Thank you Mark. It occurs to me that when you're spending time looking at shots on the forum, you're not editing those 6,000 Patagonia photos.
I can't wait to see them.Apr 15, 2019 11:13:59 #

Sorry. I can't help with the ID Chuck. The two trees were already in when we bought the house and a couple of weeks shy of giving us our first crop. The skin is yellow when they're ripe, the texture is very smooth, and the flavor is delicate.

I saw your picture and took a look at my pear tree. It is loaded with blossoms but ours are not as big as yours. Might be that we are further north.
We had a real bumper crop last year, but did have the tree pruned last fall, so we were not expecting a big year.

Our pears are usually ripe mid to late August. I don't know how that compares with your season. I believe you have longer days in the summer which undoubtedly affects your harvest.

I wondered what was getting our pears and was surprised to see a Mockingbird (in addition to some other species) pecking away at some. I've also seen rats in the tree at dusk. I may have to try picking them earlier and letting them ripen on the window sill.
Thanks for taking time for this shot Merry.
