An apple a day may not keep the doctor away, but it keeps people coming to Apple Hill in Placerville, El Dorado County each year. Everything is “apple” in this area where member growers show and sell their pies, apple fritters, apple doughnuts, etc. The months of October and November are so busy that crafters and more also show their wares.

This was my 4th trip to Apple Hill, so I decided to photograph different things. If you follow this blog, then you know I enjoy shooting close ups, lines and patterns, people, flowers and rust. So, that’s what I’m showing you today.

First close ups and rust.

This was a BIG pumpkin.

A bad hair day or unique style?

Old rusted drum.

An old drain???

Now flowers:

Now lines and patterns:

Empty apple crates

Another view

Pallets

Rusted truck grill

Now people:

Caring in motion.

Loading the kids on the truck for the hay ride.

Wiping down the fish cleaning area.

Okay, not a real person. He’s in the museum at Larson.

Some leftovers:

A store at High Hill.

The oldest tree on the Larson property.

Look at how knotted the trunk is!

Again on Larson’s property.
