I think it’s more than obvious that I love the look of fruits/berries on shrubs and trees!  I am so happy that my 3 dwarf crab apple trees are loaded with tiny apples  this fall.

I hope the birds let my little apples stay on the trees at least until the leaves are gone and the snow has fallen.  What a look that will be!

 

One of my favorite American painters is Joseph Decker.  Decker was a master painter of still lives.  Look at his painting of Queen Anne cherries:

While I’m on the Decker bandwagon, check out these other beauties by his hand.

                                    

 

So, I guess it is no wonder I love my crap apples!  I love it when nature imitates art (I know, that is backwards)!
