Bosc Pears

Bosc Pears

Uploaded: March 08, 2012

Description

Bosc pears are native to Belgium and France. They were imported to the USA in the early 1800's and are now commercially grown in the Pacific Northwest. By the way, the background in this shot was hand painted by Pauline Palmer, my artist soulmate.
