A spiced apple donut with thick chocolate icing–yum! I should have taken a picture, but I was in the midst of having an “I need sugar attack.” We were in Apple Hill, El Dorado County, enjoying apple anything and taking in the sites. This was my second time up above Placerville shooting apple orchards, vineyards and vendors. I think it will be an annual trek up the mountain.
During autumn, growers belonging to the Apple Hill Growers Association open the area to everyone, selling pies, pastries and wine. Vendors of all sorts are on hand to sell their crafts or products.
This year I went with more photography knowledge and confidence. California is still in a drought and the scenery showed it. The vineyards weren’t as green. It just looked dry after having a great deal of triple digit days this summer. So, I shot close up, with a few landscapes.
I do enjoy shooting close up, and the old farm equipment provided color and texture–just what I love. I used to spray shoot without a direct purpose. This time it was different, and I was happy.
Of course I’d have been happier if I bought another donut and brought it home! (This will be a 2-part post.)
OK where is the pic Of your gooey donut? I wanted to drool!!!

I ate it before I thought to take a picture. It was good! There’s always next year.

Anne, you have a lot of great photos! I think you found your niche with farm equipment :-)! Are you doing any type of editing with the colors? They look amazing.

Thanks Donna. Yes, I’m saturating the colors a bit. Just enough to make them look like I saw them. I do love rust!
