I 'Heart" Macro Sunday

Time for posting pics for Macro Sunday over at Studio Waterstone.  Since the next few days will be spent picking, baking and freezing cherries, I thought it appropriate to use my picture of them this week.  We have two big trees in the back yard.


They are so sweet and tasty.  We just walk out and stand under the trees eating them.  There is also a Black Heart cherry tree down in the front field on the property line.  Those are dark cherries that are even sweeter.  Yum!  We didn't know for a long time that the Black Heart was there until we finally got the fence row cleaned out.  

Whatever we don't get picked, which is a lot because the trees are so tall,  the birds move in and eat in one day.  It is really amazing to see.  And I wonder, how the heck do all the birds know to show up on the same day?

    I absolutely love dark cherries...and they are super expensive!! I was in Target yesterday and saw some but when I saw the price!?? $3.74 a pound... I thought, "A quart of 'Bolthouse Farms' juice is about the same price and has 20 times the nutrition. The juice seems expensive at first but here I am wanting to buy a 'handful' of cherries for the same price! I would gobble the cherries in about 5 minutes but the juice would last 4 days at a cup a day..." *sigh...so I sadly put the cherries back and bought the juice! :)))
    You are sooooo lucky to have trees! I am very happy for you!!

    I don't like cherries but my father in law does he would be very jealous of your trees indeed. Beautiful picture.

    I'm no fan of how cherries taste, but I can't deny their beauty. You did a wonderful job capturing this. The red is absolutely gorgeous! Fabulous shot!
