There’s nothing quite freshly picked, home grown tomatoes to create the taste of summer time. I picked the latest crop from our plants this morning (carefully trying not to disturb the four garden spiders who have decided our tomato plants are the ideal foundations for their webs!) ready for lunch and decided to use three of the most photogenic ones for today’s picture. You’ll be pleased to know the tasted as good as they look!

Actually, I would much more pleased to have them between two slices of bread with maybe some cheddar and mayo! Ha. Good for you! Maybe I will find the time to do the same next year. Lsample · 2012-08-18: 08:38

Just a fantastic photo, Helen! The colors, the clarity, the "shine", and the placement of the stems really make the shot! And I like that they're not centered in the photo. djnana · 2012-08-18: 10:04
