Indian food
Mmmm…. chocolate… and raspberries…
Tried to remake an older shot, from about a year ago, but there are some differences: the chocolate is weaker (Heidi Dark versus an almighty Lindt) but the fruits are more interesting, both as color and taste (raspberries versus strawberries). What would you take?

Meet the puppet
I find the puppet theatre stupid, boring and useless but it was really amazing to see how the children reacted to it, they were charmed by the show, giving a great opportunity for the photographer:

Children and traditions
I am not undergoing a pussyfication process, it just happened to be in the park, observe the subject and press the shutter, what else a photographer is supposed to do?

A symphony of flavors
After seeing the awesome cherries before, aren’t you hungry yet? If not, here’s a fruity mix for you: strawberries, raspberries, sour cherries and a few mint leaves. All except the strawberries are from my garden, so they are natural, tasty, flavored and totally awesome (and even the strawberries are the best I had this year so far).

My sweet cherry pie…
OK, those are not regular cherries, they are sour cherries (Romanian: vișine) so they are not just sweet but sour and sweet and with a kick-ass flavor (harvested from my garden), making them even better for a cherry pie.

Fruit p0rn
After posting some real porn (and waiting to post some more), maybe is the time for a different kind of porn: fuit close-ups, so close they become almost indecent:
And the taste was even better, they are harvested from my hargen, 100% natural and absolutely delicious.

Daisies
One of the things I wanted to shoot was some daisies but finding only a few dried ones I started to worry about a missing opportunity. Until Saturday, when walking in the Herastrau Park I noticed the daisies, not some great ones but good enough for photography.
Now am I supposed to do something with its petals?

Linen tree blossom: another honeymaker
We know the Black Locust flowers are used for honey making, but also the Linded tree blossom are used for a popular variety of honey. Now here is the dilemma: you can use linden flowers for a nice herbal tea, so you sweeten the linden tea with linden honey or with black locust honey?
Update: the high resolution of the photo(s) here were lost in an unfortunate accident(human error made by be) and a bit later the only copy remaining (resized for web use, hosted on flickr) was deleted by the yahoo bastards. I am very sad about the lost content, but is out of my control. My only hope is I will be able to replace them with more and better shots.

Blue chicory
Some time ago I set myself the target to try shooting a chicory flower as best an I can so a few days ago in the morning, I saw from the windows of the tram a chicory bush on the side of the road. It was to late to try something that day, and in the evening when returning was already too dark. The next day I was in a rush, so skipped again, but the third day I finally took the shoot: left the home earlier, walked instead of using the tram and enjoyed the photoshot:

I got the opportunity to remake this shot.

Poppy head
Lately I tried a few shoots of poppy flowers, but yesterday morning I had the opportunity for a composition about this. Made just in front of my house, early in the morning when leaving for work.

Eating: roses, strawberries…
A memory of my childhood: jam made of roses. Actually this is "dulceață" in Romanian, which is not the same as "gem"(jam), is something sweeter. You use the petals, boil them with lemon, sugar and some water and the result is a delicious sweet fruit preserve.
Speaking about food produced by my garden, I had the first harvest of strawberries this year, they were a few and the photos are quite bad, but they are real strawberries, no chemicals, no nothing:

Honey: how it’s made
I can’t say which honey is the best, but the one made from Black Locust flowers (Romanian: salcim) is really good, with nice flavor and color. So here is how it’s made: in late spring/early summer the bees are collecting the pollen from the flowers and then making the sweet thing. Mmmm… pancakes with black locust honey, aren’t you mouth watering?
