I just had the best apple! A Kanzi!
The store was out of my usual go to, Honeycrisp, so I took a chance on this one.
Of course, this is the first one I’ve ever had so I will report back if that was just a delicious outlier.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. 😜

Here's a Steller's Jay I saw in Zion last week. He was jumping around the chaparral so much, I didn't think I'd get a good shot but then he hopped into the clear! #notabluejay #stellarsjay #zionNP #getolympus #300mm
Competition electricians! I wouldn’t have guessed, but it makes sense.
