SkyWatch Friday (my thirteenth) -- Fall sky above Texas orchard

We call these things Horse Apples but their proper name is Osage Oranges. They grow on a lot of native trees around here and are generally called a nuisance.
The fruit can be used as insect repellent but it is hard to get into a spray bottle.

Down the road a bit is this ornamental pear tree in bloom. Many of the pear trees are in bloom here right now. This is one of ours in the front yard.
I blame it on shock caused by Hurricane Ike, their system is messed up and they think they have to make blooms so late in the year.
