SW Michigan Peach Fruit Pictures SW Michigan Peach Fruit Pictures
I first started this website as a way to post information to interested people and reduce the number of times I had to explain something on the phone. It also allowed me to reach people who had questions to ask about fruit but did not even know I existed as a resource. Believing that a picture is worth a thousand words, I tried to include pictures with the articles I posted. My original camera took pictures at 800x600 pixels and we all worked with dialup lines where even small pictures took time to download. As time went on I got access to faster internet connections and better cameras. I posted more and larger pictures. I would keep reminding myself that not everyone had fast internet connections so I tried to keep the pictures small in size to increase the download speed on slow connections. I developed the trick of posting a small picture and linking it to a large detailed picture. I have collected many of the pictures I have here on this page. These small pictures are all linked to a larger image.
Eventually, I break off smaller pages that are crop or subject specific. Apples, Cherries, Strawberries, Blueberries and other fruit have their own pages. I also have picture intensive pages on fire blight, frost and freeze injury, herbicide injury , fruit insects, etc.
