That’s why one day, when the year’s first strawberries arrived at my favorite farmers market, I brought as many home as I could carry, filled myself up with a whole lot of them, and then got out my camera and took some gorgeous macro shots of them. They’re beautiful and they taste great on pancakes, in oatmeal, on pastry, under whipped cream, under chocolate, or just eaten one by one like the perfect treats they are. I love strawberries.
