@MrsAmber: Thanks, MrsA! Oooh, a raspberry smoothie sounds lovely, but I'll choose raspberry shortcake today. :)
@Lee: They were! Thanks.
@Arantza: Thanks for visiting and commenting, Arantza!
Anthony Lambert from Bielefeld, Germany
Did you buy everything you took photos of ?? I would,those colours are hard to resist.

@Anthony Lambert: No, actually I only bought the berries. And they were delicious!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
You take such good photos of these produce, they should pay you ;)
6 Apr 2009 2:00pm
@Lorraine: As far as I'm concerned, they'd only have to pay with produce. :)
Thanks, Lorraine!
@john4jack: Perfect with a little whipped cream and shortcake.
Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
Oh, this just makes me so envious I could scream. I love raspberries, but by the time they get to us they're soggy or moldy. So, apparently, I need to move to the Pacific Northwest? :)

@Bookfool: If you move, I'm coming with you!
Yep, I usually wind up buying them at the grocery store and it never fails. At least 1/3 of the box is smashed and moldy. :(
@Martine: Thank you, Martine!
Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
These have that 'fresh-picked' look about them that I see only when going out picking them myself in the field . . and trying to hide the red lips at the weigh point!

@Ronnie 2¢: Sure beats buying them in a supermarket! Nothing worse than getting home and discovering the bottom half are smashed and moldy.
PD from Overland Park, Kansas, United States
I like this one very much! Now I am going to have to go and visit our farmers market!

@PD: Ours won't open for a few more weeks. This was shot in the middle of July in 2007.
Raye Michele from Halifax, Canada
yummy! Raspberries are my favourite! The clarity in this shot is stunning, makes me almost believe I can reach in and take one!
7 Apr 2009 12:51am
@Raye Michele: They're my favorite, too. Thanks so much for the lovely words. I've quickly perused your photos and will return for a more leisurely look later tonight. I can already tell your blog will become a favorite of mine!
@DarkElf: I love berries and these were quite delicious!
@Anita: Thanks, Anita. I'm anxiously awaiting this year's bounty.
Colleen from Canada
Ohhh, I could go for a little nibble of these. Reminds me of when I was fourteen and working at our town's raspberry plant for the summer. But you were NOT allowed to nibble as you worked. :)

@Colleen: Oh, but how could you not sample one or two? Maybe three or four? ;)
dogilicious from Millerstown, PA, United States
Can a picture be mouthwatering? Great colors.

@dogilicious: Thanks, Jeff. I would love to have some of these fresh berries right now. Won't be long!
