After lunch I decided to cut up some of the cucumbers and make more pickles. I had enough cucumbers from today to make 2 pints of bread and butter and 2 pints of dill. This time I put in a garlic clove and a dried cayenne pepper from last summer. This dill pickles should have a nice bite!


Around 3pm Sunday afternoon my honey, son and I went back outside. My honey and I both had a huge bowl for berries. We picked for an hour! We got a bowl of blackberries and blueberries. I froze up the blueberries and there was over 12 cups! My fingers were stained purple from the blackberries. They are so ripe that some of them burst when they are touched.






I took another look in the garden..and what did I find? These 2 zucchinis hiding under some huge leaves!



Here are some blooms that were out today. I have been experimenting with the settings on my camera. I think this setting made the colors really pop.

Auto Setting



Manual setting , the color really pops



Bee Balm





Clematis



Glads



August Yellow Rose



My husband suggested that we have bacon sandwiches for tea. So here is mine. He forgoes the tomato but I have to have fresh tomato when i have it. the yellow tomato was soooo sweet!



Hope everyone had a good weekend!

What a good looking daily harvest. You sandwich looks really tasty, love those bacon and tomato sandwiches. The yellow tomato sounds good, I will have to look for them around here.

I almost always have to improve the color in photoshop, my camera just doesn't see the colors like they really are sometimes.

More great-looking harvest piccies. Those berries are coming in good for you now.
The flower fotos are brilliant and aside from the quality they are all just plain, pretty flowers.
Please keep the fotos coming.
Good work, mate.

Lovely harvest, and lovely photos. My camera and I are arguing about the correct shades of red and pink. We're generally in a disagreement.
