Back when I was a kid there used to be a lot of apricots around, so many my family used to to jam of them, now to get some I had to go to the market place and buy. However, this is their season, they are affordable and tasty.

Morning after morning I pass near that shaded chicory flower and wonder about taking a better shot, but today it was a little different: a firebug (Romanian: Vaca Domnului) was walking around, offering me the opportunity for a different take (yeah, in the backgrounds are blue chicory flowers and the fence is making difficult for me to shot them).

On the look for the snail remake, I got one day unexpected help from a street dog: he was barking at the dirt, which made me look closely and notice his "enemy", this ugly bug.

Another remake for photos lost in the same accident, this time for the snails photoshot, which was somewhat easier: there are plenty of snails after a rainy night, you only need to find a way and re-capture the original enthusiasm for the shot. And that is hard.

After they were lost in a terrible accident I tried a remake of the blue chicory shot, which was not easy since we are past their season. But I managed to find some, in deep shade where they resisted more, but the light was quite bad. So I don’t really count this as a success.

Indeed, everything is doom and gloom with lost photos and thins like that, so you can’t savour even a peach (be it in literary of figurative sense).
… or that voice in my head saying a peach will make your day brighter is right? I guess that depends on the peach.

Those look pretty much like some flowers from my garden, but I don’t know their name anyway.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
