    wow, it's terrific
    I like that you chose a blemished apple, and made her beautiful.

    Thank you so much for all your lovely comments! Also, as Dar observed, I chose to include a blemish or two on this otherwise perfect apple to reveal signs of age, which is my trademark, hence my slogan, "Capturing Nature's Transient Beauty". Thank you again for all your kind remarks! I truly appreciate it. Jeanne

    This is delightful! I really like how you've shown the apple, but also the stem and shriveling leaves!

    Thank you, Helen. It's not often I can find an apple with leaves intact here in suburbia but...perhpas I should venture out to the farms and grab a few from the trees! :o) Thank you for your comments, Jeanne
