This is representative of our daily haul from the garden at the moment. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I may be reaching my fill of strawberries and raspberries for the year.

Berry Season Bliss

For the past two months, I’ve been eating two bowls like this every day. At first, it was just strawberries, then blueberries joined in, and later raspberries too. All the fruit comes from a local farmer in my area. It’s a glorious time of year - sweet, juicy, and gone far too soon. I wish berry season could last forever. But the end is near... and then it’s back to the long, cold, berry-less months of waiting. At least I’ve got one more kilo in the fridge. For now. ☺️

#Photography #Squared #Strawberries
The image is presented in a square format with a clean white border. It depicts a bowl filled with fresh berries, predominantly strawberries and blueberries. The strawberries are bright red, halved or quartered, their textured surfaces catching the light. The blueberries are plump and deep blue, scattered naturally among the strawberries. The bowl itself is red with a white rim and sits on a light wooden surface. Lighting is bright and high-key, coming from above, causing soft shadows and slightly blown-out highlights at the top of the frame. This creates a clean, airy appearance. The composition is centered and emphasizes the strong color contrast between the red strawberries and blue blueberries. The fruit fills the frame almost completely.

By the end of the season, I’ll probably have washed and sliced around 50 kilos of strawberries.

And yes, I did share with my wife. ;-)

"Still Life with Strawberries and Nuts," Raphaelle Peale, 1822.

Peale (1774-1825) was the son of painter Charles Willson Peale and perhaps America's first professional painter of still lifes. He started doing portraits with his father and siblings, and sometimes miniatures, but later became a taxidermist for a museum founded by his father.

However, the arsenic and mercury he was exposed to while doing taxidermy ended up giving him serious health problems. He abandoned miniatures and portraits and did nothing but still lifes, which until then had been viewed as something for students and amateurs. His skill and attention to detail gave legitimacy to a scorned genre of painting.

He died at the age of 51, reportedly after a night of heavy drinking, but it's now viewed that his destroyed health caught up with him. Now he is viewed by a number of critics as the most talented of the Peale brothers.

From the Art Institute of Chicago.

A Realist still life. The items sit on a brown surface with a darker brown backdrop. In the rear, a large covered glass compote holds a large number of small strawberries. Before it, going from left to right, are a two-handled cup sitting atop a stack of three saucers, a bowl of hazelnuts and almonds, with a single orange and a bunch of raisins still on the stem, and a small pitcher.

Never knew that strawberries have four sets of chromosomes (making them octoploid, instead of diploid like us) or that they are the result of hybridization of four species.

Ich weiß das gar nicht mehr. Ich glaub die waren mit einmal da. Wir haben auch mal welche gepflanzt. Die sind schon jahrelang im Garten. Ein essbarer Bodendecker. Jetzt müssen wir noch die Maiglöckchen rausreißen, weil giftig, und die will ich dann nicht.

🍓 There are wild strawberries in my garden. They are self-sowing and plants appear in new places every year. They don't bear many berries and the berries are tiny. But such a berry is like an explosion of flavor in your mouth. They taste really good.

Over the weekend I built a 12-foot raised bed for strawberries using rotted cedar boards I had to rip off my deck. Currently growing Merlan, Ozark Beauty, and an alpine with no name. June-bearing Camarosas going in soon. #GrownYourOwn #strawberries #garden #gardening #fruit #woodworking

Long wooden raised bed inside a walk-in garden lined with chicken wire to keep the birds and squirrels out.
