I love the shallow depth of field, I love the way my eye focuses on the flower as if it is some precious cargo from another world. I love the way the pink pops off the scene. I love that you took the effort to play with your daughter and create this scene for her. The two of you must have had so much fun. She must love this photo.” — @natgeoyourshot Producer David Y. Lee

GHOST APPLES 👻🍎

After freezing rain in Michigan, apples that hadn’t been picked got coated in ice. Many fell off the tree. Some had their insides turn to mush as apples have lower freezing points. The mush and skin fell, leaving these “ghost apples.”
