Pumpkins at the orchard

Around about Thanks Giving, Vanessa, Rob and I were driving from Vancouver to the Okanagan. The route took us along BC Highway 3 known as the Crowsnest Highway.
Just as the highway splits at Keremeos we came across a bright orange collection of pumpkins along the side of the highway.
Amongst the pumpkins were ancient tractors at the edge of an apple orchard. We stopped, took some photos, bought some fruit and were on our way. Apparently this is one of the best places in British Columbia to get fresh apples, pears and other fruits.
If you are taking Highway 3 in the Summer/Autumn months, keep a look out for the fresh fruit stands located along this highway between Hedley and Osoyoos.
