Dimpled Pear

1 more picture above in a note!

A few days ago, Steve and I decided to walk around one of our rural "blocks", and I took my camera with me. Steve spotted a pear tree and I had fun getting pictures of them!

Did you know that pears are Oregon’s official State Fruit? Oregon ranks second in the nation in pear production. 84% of the US fresh pear crop comes from the Pacific Northwest due to the region’s unique climate. Volcanic soil, abundant water, warm days and cool nights combine to create the perfect conditions for growing the varieties of pears found in Oregon, whose principal growing regions are in Hood River Valley in north central Oregon and Rogue River Valley in southeastern Oregon.
