Too many cherry tomatoes, one camera, and a shaft of light

There are only three cherry tomato plants in our small garden yet they produce as if they are ten times that number. I do nothing to hasten the plants grown or speed up their ripening. There’s no regular application of fertilizer. No consistent spraying of insecticide or herbicide. The only moisture the roots receive is natural from beneath the mulch layer applied at their plantings. I don’t sing to them, pray over them, threaten them with uprooting, or waste their produce. Yet they grow so prolific that I can’t eat them fast enough to keep up. It’s even difficult picking them fast enough to prevent splitting with too rapid growth. I’m tired of salads. You can eat just so many cherry tomatoes like grapes before it begins to affect the intestinal tract. I know.

The next best thing to eating all these tomatoes it to make them the photo subject for the day. I’ll eat them later, with olive oil, basil, pork roast from the slow cooker, fresh carrots, yeast rolls with butter, and sweet iced tea. Maybe some of the fresh corn although there’s less of it and it’s almost gone.

Technical stuff: Natural light near sunset. Open shade with shafts of light moving through the trees. Slight fill from wall of nearby house in sunlight. My front yard is a great place in the late afternoon.
