How cool you have strawberries now! We're still waiting on tomatoes. They need more heat than happens this time of year.

Alas, it doesn't matter how close I get to the pastries, I can't have them. Too many carbs and calories for this old lady! I too love looking at them.

Sharing is in my DNA!

From high cholesterol alone. No danger of real pastry here in the south. 😓

I love your pix!

I can't really pick out a favorite, although the fruit tarts do look scrumptious.

I have had a fruit tart and it is very messy to eat! The pastry flakes all over me and the powdered sugar too. It is excellent!

I think my favorite flower photo is the one with the central flower in sunlight and the rest of the photo dark. I love the contrast.
