Strawberries
June 17, 2007
Strawberry season is here - and it should last for about another 3 more weeks. I went strawberry picking to Twinkleberry Farms and took along my Canon G7 for the ride.
I took a bunch of shots, but this pic reminds me of one of those could-be advertising shots that would read "From our fields to your table - support your local farmer" or "Fresh Ontario Produce".... well you get the idea...
