“Soon to come in licorice, orange, cinnamon, and banana, but not strawberry, because I hate strawberries.”
― Terry Pratchett
The quote today was the first one that I came across in my keyword search for Strawberry quotes and it seemed quite fitting since I watched the book inspired film only last night, which it came from. Whilst minimal effort went into today’s shots, I did get a moment to edit some from a few days ago as well – sunsets that I just hadn’t got off the camera yet.
For my background I made use of the paper brought last weekend. It’s pretty and goes well with just about anything, I can tell I’m going to get great use out of it. The only issue was the the strawberries were quite…old..and don’t look their best!
As for the shots I forgot about until today – I’ll share them at the bottom of this blog entry. On Sunday evening I headed up Danebury ring with Buddy and my Parents for a quick wander before the Olympics Closing Ceremony. The sunset up there was beautiful and I took only my camera (none of the bag and lens plus attachments e.t.c) and it was quite liberating to not be swapping lens’s all the time!

Simply beautiful.
I wouldn’t worry about the fruit being old. Aging fruit in still life painting has quite a pedigree, and is used to represent certain things: aging, death, etc. There is even one fruit, the medlar, which is not eaten commonly any longer, which could only be eaten when it was close to rotten. For that reason it was understood, when used in old paintings, to represent the inevitability of death, or something like that. Nice photos.
Great photos as always! When I saw the word “Strawbs”, I was hoping for something about the English folk/rock group Strawbs.
