Taken on the 4th December 2010. This little Raspberry has withstood snow, well below freezing temperatures, rain and goodness knows what else and it still looks rather wonderful and tasty. One of Nature's heros :-)
This is the Farmer Swire series. For someone born and raised in city centre in Hong Kong, strangely I've always been fond of the countryside and farming. When we bought our house in Toronto, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the Italian family who used to own the house planted a raspberry bush in one corner of the backyard.
After watching British documentary TV series Tales from the Green Valley, Victorian Farm, Victorian Farm Christmas, Edwardian Farm, Wartime Farm and Tudor Monastery Farm, I became inspired to do better in growing some food in our little backyard.
Victorian Farm:
Another wet, cold, miserable day so I decided on another still life shot. The raspberries were delicious!
A neighbor gave me these berries, which looked so pretty I decided to photograph them before I ate them. Last week, another friend had given me a tutorial on using my flash, so I tried using some of his techniques. When I took picture with no flash, the berries looked flatter. Here I bounced the flash off the slanted ceiling.
I seem to be gathering quite a few raspberries...only the squirrels seem to care. These are supposed to be black raspberries, but aren't getting all that dark.
