The Red Ripe Strawberry

(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED)

Who likes strawberry? Strawberries are not common in my hometown (Davao City). The fruit is difficult to grow in a tropical hot weather. I have learned to eat strawberry when I live here in the UK. You could see it everywhere whatever season we have. And for some reason, it becomes one of my favourite subjects in photography. I like the colour and the uniqueness of the fruit itself. Strawberries are the only fruit with seeds on the outside. It is awesome! Different angle could be interjected and you create interesting shots.
