Yes, Wimbldon is here and just the right time for strawberries and cream. Your pictures Michelle are excellent. The first one is a gorgeous photograph, the second one timed to perfection and a great capture. The third one looked soooooo inviting, (till you ate them all up) lol. And the last one is absolutely beaurtiful and so well presented. This is excellent work Michelle. Mouthwatering too.

Jake.

I agree with Jake. Also, your last shot is just fantastic.

I'm thinking it was all just a ploy for you to tempt us with strawberries and then eat them yourself.

A beautiful set of shots. I especially like the lighting and colour composition of the last one - the blue-grey background, and blue frame just highlight the lush red strawbs perfectly.
Well done.
Grumby

hmmm - feeling a bit peckish now - sadly there aren't many strawbs around in the southern hemisphere at the moment

Thanks Jake, who's going to win? The pictures aren't exactly what I was after but there is always next time. I'm not that unhappy with the outcome especially the last one even if it was supposed to have a white background.

Just a tease. I didn't get to eat all the strawberries, the kids came home to early.

Grumby I bought these strawberries in Woolies, Roma, Western Queensland. Don't they have strawberries down in the city? Thanks for the comments.
