I have been practicing up with my new camera lens and taking pictures of objects.  It is harder than I realized to transition from taking pictures of people to taking pictures of objects.  

This afternoon as we were canning our Asian Pears I noticed how cool they looked as we were peeling them.  Thank heavens for a peeler, I was dreading doing it by hand, and this way makes for much better pictures!

We canned 31 quarts, of Asian Pears, I am a bit canned out at the moment!  

If you have never had an Asian Pear they are worth trying, you may have heard them called an apple pear as well.  They taste just like they sound.  They grow in the shape of an apple, have the texture of a pear and are very sweet to the taste.  They have become one of my favorite fruits, good thing we large tree of them in our back yard!
