The cherries are in abundance now.  You can buy them in the supermarkets, stop at an orchard stand, or even do you-pick on an orchard ladder.  The latter is not for me!  When we moved here I bought a cherry pitter and 20 pounds of cherries and set to work which took a couple of days.  But the flavour burst is always worth the effort.  Here's a few on a plate for you.

The plums aren't quite ready yet but they are coming along well, developing those rich hues followed by the soft bloom.  This image from last year's crop painted in a loose, bold style.  See my gallery for prices.  Please leave a comment on my 'Guestbook' page
