Berry season has begun in the forests. But no one collects them. Now blueberries are grown on farms, which is more profitable. But the forest berry is much tastier.
I have been interested in photography all my life and remember quite well developing my first black and white films myself... My favorite subjects are...
Spot on focus on the berry and great dof! - I love blueberries and as a child used to go up the mountain side to gather them ( we called them Wimberries)
the wild grown fruits are indeed so much tastier. I remember collecting bilberries on holidays as a child - which are similar but not quite the same. I hope you got some to enjoy. You have the perfect specimen here in your beautiful photo.
I love blueberries but I can't even imagine picking those little tiny berries and bending over to get them. The only time I ever saw them growing was in Maine and they were very short little plants. Backbreaking is my thought. I appreciate being able to buy them when someone else has picked them.
Oh, ours are not quite ready yet. We do collect them but you're right, not many people do. When we're seen on our local hill, collecting, people often ask us what we're picking and are surprised to realise that they're edible and that there are lots of them around!
