cherry pickers

Cherry picking! New auto-focus 35mm lens!

Being cherry-picking noobs (it was my first time), we asked this woman who had a good amount of loot which trees she had been picking from.  “This tree is amazing!” she proclaimed while pointing to a tree nearby that looked exactly like all the trees down the row.

According to Wilson, who has been cherry-picking for the past few years and graciously invited us to join him, Memorial Day weekend is prime time for picking.  Apparently this year’s schedule was a few weeks behind, and we had to be much more selective.  In any case, I left the orchard very happy with a huge bag of Bing and Ranier cherries, plus a few peaches, for under $10.
