Part of a row of lombardy poplars is cut to improve air drainage for frost protection. A block of apple trees is reworked by grafting. Nurse limbs are left for the health of the tree while new wood is grafted onto the main trunk and other side limbs. Summer View of Eberhart orchards and the Kittitas Valley taken from the Pump Ditch. At nightfall in early summer a chorus of croaking frogs serenades us from the canals and ponds.
Apples grow to size in the good old summer time.
A good set of Bosc Pears. Apples in the summer sun. In fall the windbreak Lombardy Poplars become golden sentinals along the edge of the ruddy leaved orchard. In November fog softens the outline of trees and muffles the sound of birds. Sunset sky over western hills of the Kittitas Valley.
