Organic abstract, ripe apples ready for harvest on Malloryville Road in the Finger Lakes
Late one early autumn afternoon Pam and I walked the Malloryville Road from our former home to find these apples, ready for harvest, beside a barn.
Thank You for viewing.

A photographer and his audience
One May early morning two white horses come down from a sloping pasture on Slievenaglogh to view an interloper taking photographs. Slievenaglogh Townland, County Louth, Ireland.
Slievenaglogh Townland, County Louth, Ireland.
This I used the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens. It is two shots, the first in horizontal, the second in vertical mode.
A Cooley Peninsula Valley on a May Morning
On the northeast slope of Slievenaglogh peak (Irish: Sliabh na gCloch) on the road from Mullaghattin Townland to Riverstown. This day I swapped lenses and took in the same general direction for each. This is the first and last of a series using the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens and I pulled in the shots from the Canon 24mm f1.4 L II USM lens, published in previous posts.
Here we look northeast from the Slievenaglogh Townland over the valley between Slievenaglogh and Slieve Foy peaks. Slieve Foy is the far ridge lost in clouds.
This is the first and last of a series using the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens.
The view includes Little River, Castletown River, Ballycoly and Glenmore Townlands. Adjacent is a sheep pasture with a farm ruin behind the yellow flowered gorse (Whin bush, scientific name Ulex).
Early morning, late May 2014.

The road runs high on the shoulder of Slievenaglog peak, the 200 mm lens peers into the next townland over, Ballycoly (or Ballygoley), the valley floor broad, pastured.
This is the seventh and last of a series using the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L USM lens.
So much depended on this wagon
Quickly moving sheep pass the hay wagon on May morning, early. A great start to this week.
This mountainside pasture is grazed by a flock of sheep alongside a long unused farm wagon. Slievenaglogh Townland, Cooley Peninsula, County Louth, Ireland.
This is the fifth of a series using the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L USM lens.
Or neither?
This breed may be a Balwen Welsh Mountain sheep, as it fits the description. When the ewe caught sight of me, she hightailed it for cover, the lambs followed.
The Balwen is bred for meat and that is the rule in this area, the lambs are sold.
The description is of a black color with a white blaze on the face, four white “socks” and white on the tail. This individual is missing a white tale, so might be a Shetland and even more so as the others of the herd are white (Shetlands are a variety of colors), Shetland is common and the other rare.
These are on the hillside of Slievenaglogh Townland, County Louth, Ireland.
