I had the identical reaction to yours when I spotted these beauties!

I've been waiting for our local growers to produce them, and today my waiting is over! We'll have them the rest of the summer and I couldn't be happier!

Delicious looking berries especially those big fat blue ones! I've been using a lot of dill lately too I love how delicate it is.

Their berries are especially good. I simply had to have some blueberries tonight with vanilla ice cream!

I should try fresh dill sometime! Do you have a favorite dish that you like it in?

You are too kind!

I have so much fun taking these! Trying to get the best angle, the best composition and all that, besides staying out of the way of the paying customers!

It's a blast for me, and I'm so happy that you enjoy them this much.

I appreciate your lovely words!

I couldn't resist the blueberries with some vanilla ice cream after dinner tonight. That combo is so good!

a sakad or dessert, but, ohhhhhhh, how tempting!!!

Our local markets are starting, but no real local produce yet, just jams and soaps and sauces and such.

I was quite happy with my photos today. The sky was stubbornly overcast nearly the whole day but the colors still showed up!

I hope your local markets will soon be overflowing with real produce very soon! The heirloom tomatoes finally showed up today and I was truly excited to see them.

The real local produce will not really start showing up for another month or so (our growing season is SHORT!!!), but should be good.

I almost jumped for joy when I spotted them! They're not quite ripe enough to eat--yet. Soon!

You always find such an interesting variety of shapes and colors.

The dill makes me feel like I’m in a forest of tall trees! I just love the smell of it. I love fresh dill on roasted salmon. And the heirloom tomatoes! I agree with Mousetoescamper, they are the stars of this array.
