Peach Tree in Massachusetts

Peach Tree in Massachusetts

Yesterday on a morning walk, I passed a peach tree in the neighborhood. The peaches smelled delicious, and the color was great, so I took some pictures with my phonecam. (Apparently some birds agreed with me, so I had to do a little repair work on one of the peaches with Painter IX). It's unusual to see a peach tree in Massachusetts, but this transplant from the south seems to be doing just fine. I've been thinking about the evacuees from New Orleans who were flown to Cape Cod without evening knowing their destination. They had a very warm welcome in this cooler climate. I hope that they do well here, just like this peach tree.
