This family has a long running love of pears. Once I gave Ed a loaf of bread and a bag of pears for Valentine’s Day. One of his co-workers found that so odd that he mentioned it every time I saw him. Ed, however, was a happy valentine. He loves bread and pears.<\/p>\n

But, why not? What’s not to love about pears? They are available year-round and come in varieties that are both delicious and beautiful. The ones in the photo above are Forelle, which means trout in German. They were named for their spots. <\/p>\n

They also come in different colors, green and red and yellow when ripe.<\/p>\n

Then, there are Asian pears with their tawny, greenish-yellow to caramel coloring.<\/p>\n

We love eating pears and we love photographing them. And this is the best time of year for local pear lovers. So stop by a farmers market or orchard and see what pears local growers have to offer.<\/p>\n
