    Beautiful - almost a scene from Herefordshire though the barn gives the lie to that.

    So beautiful. My immediate thought: I wonder if I'll be eating an apple from one of these trees in the fall?

    Graceful, lacy photo!

    Lovely scene, but I think it would be nicer in colour! And I love the trilliums in the previous post. Where did you go to see such a carpet of flowers?

    Simply gorgeous. I always think these lovely barns should be seen in colour, but you proved me so wrong.

    When I saw the thumbnail of this shot in my sidebar blogroll I thought it was snow. Very nice b&w! I enjoyed your Camera Critter post also, he is a devilish looking little critter :)

    This really works for me in black and white. A very familiar scene in my neck of the woods, as well. I know that a barn is red, I pass by not less than 8 on my commute to work each day!

    Wonderful! Could be a shot from a Kentish orchard - apart from the barn in the background.

    This is a stunning monochrome. I like that you got a little of the barn to give the apple trees a little contrast in the background.

    I have grown accustomed to think of flowers in colour only. I have now changed my mind.

    Me too! I mean -- I want to see the comparisons. This is very interesting shot with the barn and trees. . . I would never have tought to do it as monochrome. . .

    Shammickite,

    These were in Whitchurch=Stouffville...Ballantrae, actually. But there are masses like these in the York Regional Forest, Durham Regional Forest, northern East Gwillimbury...anywhere there are undisturbed deciduous forests.
