How lovely! I can almost see you as a little girl, swinging near that apple tree. And nice to share your father, too. It's early apple season here; I got the first basket of apples at the farmer's market on Friday. Yum!
Such a lovely post. Sunny and happy memories.
Lovely photos. and wonderful memories. It looks like your father has a good crop of apples on that tree.
Great pictures and memories. I love the picture of your father and the apples; I am certain that will be a very treasured photo as the years go by.
What wonderful memories. I love trees they have often been referrd to as the 'silent witness'. The photo of your father brought a tear to my eye!! thank you, Judyx
Beautiful story!! And I love the photo best...the one with your father picking the apples! That just tells so much about what you posted in photos above the last!!
My FM favorite photos are shared also, I do hope you can find time to stop by.

just gorgeous...gorgeous photos and wonderful memories!!
It always amazes me that with the quick click of the shutter we can capture something so beautiful it lasts a lifetime. I bet you will cherish that last photo forever. Love it!
Jientje -- thank you for sharing your special memories. That is what blogging is all about -- those glimpses inside other people's hearts and minds, and reminders of what is really important.
Beautiful post. Simply beautiful.
Pictures with memories behind them are some of the best.
May he be picking the apples for many, many more years.
I think that the best pictures generate fond memories like these pictures of the apple orchard and the special one of your father.
How wonderful to have these pictures and these memories.
a treasure. Memories and pies. It doesn't get much better than that.
What a great picture for you to reflect on....childhood memories are the fondest!
How revealing that of all your wonderful photographs, this one of your father doing something as simple as picking apples for his family is your favorite. Just proves that no matter what we see of the world, home, and what it means to each of us, is the best.
I have always wanted an apple tree in my garden so thank you for sharing yours!
