What says fall better than wandering through a lovely apple orchard with friends and family, picking apples, and taking precious autumn pictures?
Apple picking is a great opportunity to get fun photos for your digital scrapbooking pages, or capture some great shots of nature itself to turn into digital scrapbooking embellishments or supplies! If you missed the apple picking season in your area or you can’t get out to pick apples from a tree yourself, not to worry, you can still have a lot of fun by making a quick visit to your local farmers market.
Taking photos of selecting apples at the farmers market make for great photos! Something as simple as a bag of apples can make an interesting photo on a digital scrapbooking page. 
Don’t forget that you can take some photos of your apples, family, and friends at home! The images don’t always have to be of whole apples either! Preparing apple-based recipes, baking apple pies, eating them, and so forth, are great apple-photo opportunities too!
I also like to have my apples pose for photos that I can turn into future digital scrapbooking supplies! I like to take photos of the apples in baskets, posing alone in the window, and the list goes on….
So, get out your camera and start taking photos of apples!
Once you have your digital pics, decide if you are going to use the photos for scrapping into a page or album or if you want to use the image to make digital scrapbooking supplies!
In this case, I think a digital scrapbooking page would be nice for my apple picking photos!
I used the Gardening 2 Digital Scrapbooking Kit to combine the Apple Photos and make a great fall digital scrapbooking page!
I also found a apple picking poem by Robert Frost that I used in my digital scrapbooking project. I think it is nice to add poetry to digital scrapbooking projects when I can.
In case you are also doing some digital scrapbooking projects that include apple picking this year, here is the poem for you to use as well!
After Apple Picking – by Robert Frost
My long two-pointed ladder’s sticking through a tree
Toward heaven still.
And there’s a barrel that I didn’t fill
Beside it, and there may be two or three
Apples I didn’t pick upon some bough.
But I am done with apple-picking now.
Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
The scent of apples; I am drowsing off.
I cannot shake the shimmer from my sight
I got from looking through a pane of glass
I skimmed this morning from the water-trough,
And held against the world of hoary grass.
It melted, and I let it fall and break.
But I was well
Upon my way to sleep before it fell,
And I could tell
What form my dreaming was about to take.
Magnified apples appear and reappear,
Stem end and blossom end,
And every fleck of russet showing clear.
My instep arch not only keeps the ache,
It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round.
And I keep hearing from the cellar-bin
That rumbling sound
Of load on load of apples coming in.
For I have had too much
Of apple-picking; I am overtired
Of the great harvest I myself desired.
There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch,
Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
For all
That struck the earth, No matter if not bruised, or spiked with stubble,
Went surely to the cider-apple heap
As of no worth.
One can see what will trouble
This sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is.
Were he not gone,
The woodchuck could say whether it’s like his
Long sleep, as I describe its coming on,
Or just some human sleep.
Get Lots of Apple Photos this Year!
Enjoy your apple picking, apple photography, and apple digital scrapbooking projects this year!
Get lot of great photos and make lots of great family and friends memories to treasure for years to come.
Enjoy!
Have a very happy fall!
Cheri
