Looks like it's hot out.

In the picture with all the berries, do you know what the yellow things are and what they taste like? They are sold here but I have no idea what they are.

It IS warm, esp. for us; the temp is around 73 or 74 with a pretty good breeze.

The yellow berries are gooseberries. My memory may be faulty, but I remember them as not terribly sweet.

Glad you enjoyed!

I too would like to know what those prickly things are (your last photo).

So glad you enjoy them.

Those are from Australia and I don't know the name. I did ask but forgot to write it down, alas.

They do look prickly, but they're soft to the touch.

Is that your shadow over the potatoes?

I understand that gooseberries make wonderful jams and pies, and have many health benefits.

I'm glad you like my images!

And, no, that is not my shadow over the potatoes. I work to keep that from happening! The sunlight was coming through a small opening in the canvas tent that was over the produce. I love seeing sunlight highlighting in that manner; I always try to get a great shot that way.
