22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Fresh Apples from Grandpa’s Tree

The photo captures a vibrant apple tree in my grandpa’s yard, its branches heavy with fresh, bright red apples. As the sun sets, golden and warm hues illuminate the scene, casting a beautiful glow on the tree and making the apples shimmer with a rich, inviting color. The leaves are a deep green, providing a lovely contrast to the vibrant fruit. This tree not only symbolizes nature’s bounty but also evokes a sense of warmth and nostalgia, reminding you of cherished moments spent at your grandpa’s home. After our trip to the U.S., we returned to our home country and shared delightful moments with my son, trying some of those freshly picked apples. The sweetness of the fruit paired with the warmth of the sunset created unforgettable memories, blending the joy of travel with the comforts of home..
