one of the many mutant lemons on my tree.( might have something to do with the fact that we are near the Lawrence Livermore and Sandia National Labs...the guys that design the nations Nukes)

Mom's tree put out ones nearly that siza and her tree was hardly 10' tall. I miss the oranges, they were the best. :(

This one is from last year, K2 Aviation beaver flew right into the top of this glacier, just missing the top, as most CFIT accidents do. 4000' vertical wall. Pilot and at least one passenger survived, but weather prevented rescue for a few days and when the authorities could finally get there, the only thing they could do was lower a guy on a line and confirm that they were dead. No wreckage removal. This is a classic demonstration of when rescue is impossible.
