Strawberry Sweetness

This recent weekend, PW and I went to a nearby farm to pick some strawberries.  The weekend came with perfect weather, lots of fun, and abundance of strawberries.

The strawberry rows with other strawberry pickers.

Showing off my favorite picks.

The experience was priceless.

I enjoyed peeking through rows and rows of strawberries.

It was a delight to see a bunch of ripe strawberries just waiting to be picked.

Green or red?

We made sure we picked only the ripe ones.

The lone red.

Some of them went straight to my mouth.

They glow underneath the sun.

These ones ended in my basket.

Nothing really beats the sweetness of fresh strawberries.  This experience surely reminded me of my strawberry picking days in Benguet.

A strawberry Monday to everyone!

    Reminds me of La Trinidad's strawberry farms =) It made me hope though that La Trinidad's photos would have trees at the background too =)

    When I saw the photos, I had no doubt this reminded a part of your life in the Philippines. I feel like picking some strawberries now so I can dip them in a melted white toblerone.

    i did strawberry picking just 2 weeks ago in San Diego. It was my first time, and it was surprisingly enjoying! It took me around 3 hours to fill my bucket. I only get the perfect strawberries. :)

    your photos are gods compared with mine. haha.
