Description

A beautiful day in the apple orchard on a Spring day. I love the colors that come with the season, the Spring greens and Spring yellows. They are so relaxing and just beautiful to look at. This composition captured my attention with the way the ladders were leaning against the apple tree with the lone crow watching over everything. I used textures and effects to create a painterly look.
An orchard is an intentional planting of trees or shrubs that is maintained for food production. Orchards comprise fruit, vegetable, and nut-producing trees which are grown for commercial production. Orchards are also sometimes a feature of large gardens, where they serve an aesthetic as well as a productive purpose.[1] A fruit garden is generally synonymous with an orchard, although it is set on a smaller non-commercial scale and may emphasize berry shrubs in preference to fruit trees. Most temperate-zone orchards are laid out in a regular grid, with a grazed or mown grass or bare soil base that makes maintenance and fruit gathering easy.

Orchards are often concentrated near bodies of water, where climatic extremes are moderated and blossom time is retarded until frost danger is past.
