Today was the perfect day to document spring, this week's theme at Thursday Challenge. As I was enjoying a short picnic lunch along the towpaths of a one mile-long section of the old Erie Canal, I came upon an apple tree firmly rooted within the course of that aged, neglected and overgrown, waterless waterway. I think today's post is more than fitting, enjoy.

"The immature fruit hangs low, over banks and canal, within equal reach of the footman, the boatman and thee. Fine as they seem - for the mule, the crow or the bee - they're much too young for me." - a flicktion by Mick Mather
