Oh, this is so gorgeous - and a brilliant way to get Ruby Tuesday and Project Black into one shot. I LOVE it. Thanks for your kind comments at Raven's Nest. I really had a great time making "the tour."
I had a word in mind when I first saw this. And low and behold, it's the 5th word in Raven's comment. I'm using it anyhow. THIS IS GORGEOUS!. The color. The composition. The background. All of it. This is one your best shots EVER. I love it.
Yummy... We always picked a bunch of blackberries when we were kids and my mom would make jelly and jam. Later, after I got married and mom knew we were coming down for a visit she would have a blackberry cobbler waiting for us when we got there because she knew both my wife and I loved them. We would stop at a store just before we got there and buy some vanilla ice cream.
Mine get like this and I wait one more day before picking the black one and go out the next morning to find them all gone. I suspect a bird but it might be a clever raccoon.
I have yet to get to taste one blackberry. I have several more ripe or just about ripe. I hope to try again soon.
I can't decide if I'm more blown away by this black AND red photo or the fact you have SIGNS song playing! While riding around the campground Saturday morning, I was singing this song continuously because there were signs to not do this and that everywhere. I was actually going to take photos, and still will and make a complete blog post out of them!

ReplyDeleteYum! You just made my mouth water! I make a killer blackberry pie! Probably not in Hawaii though.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's a clever combination!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your Project Black pictures Carletta!
You are getting so good at this double take. Love it. the shot is so clear. Screams summer!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!! and perfect for both themes, well done!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very beautiful photo with the clouds in the background stating that it is definitely not a supermarket berry!

Love this shot, Carletta! It is just so sharp.
ReplyDeleteNeal forgot to mention all the chiggers we would get when we went picking blackberries.
How clever of you to incorporate both colors :o)
ReplyDeleteHave a great Tuesday!
WOW! I LOVE the way you've composed this!! The sky in the background and the Red and Black of the berries! WOW! Very well done!!
ReplyDeleteCarletta: Oh how I like Blackberries. Ours are still green, I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteCarletta,
ReplyDeleteWow! This is a beautiful picture- and you got 'Two birds with one stone!'

ReplyDeleteWOW! I love this photo. The berries look so pretty against that blue sky.
ReplyDeleteA fabulous shot! The colors pop!! So so fun & summery! :)
ReplyDeleteWhata camera you have what is it ??
ReplyDeleteWon't be long before those are ready to make some great jelly, jam, or blackberry cobbler. Can't wait. Pappy.
ReplyDeleteOh man...yum. Now all I can think of is blackberry pie - for breakfast - with ice cream. Beautiful...and delicious.
ReplyDeleteMmm those look so good! Don't think ours are going to ripen in time this year. Fantastic pic Carletta.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot!!
ReplyDeleteI love blackberries. It's been so long since I lived by a bush.

What a gorgeous photo. They look good enough to eat and the berries look great against the sky.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog :)
I combined Project Black and Ruby Tuesday also but not nearly as artistically as you have!
ReplyDeletethe colors are all so wonderful!!
Carletta that works so well for ruby and black!! Great shot...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic well thought out shot this is... sure makes one want to eat them..
ReplyDeleteFine looking berries, and balanced perfectly - nearly symmetrical.
ReplyDeleteThat is JUST beautiful! We have some blackberries in our yard, but I could NEVER get such a great shot of the sky behind it.
ReplyDeleteMouth is watering...: )
ReplyDeleteVery cool shot. Love the composition.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this shot! Wow. I agree with the "gorgeous" remarks. The berries against that sky . . . breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm here, thanks so much for your thoughtful comments.
Great job on that! Good Ruby Tuesday to ya!! :D
ReplyDeleteThose look like the most perfect berries ever grown! What a great way to combine both projects too!!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply outstanding... and brilliant!

ReplyDeleteCoincidence? I think not... :)
Outstanding shot for both projects!
You've posted a lot of excellent material since my last visit and this is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThe colors, composition, subject, and background are stunning!
What a great photo! And you are so good at combining themes within one picture!
ReplyDeleteMy berries are ripening as well. Now I think I will go take a photo of them. This is a great shot!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I enjoyed looking at all your project black photos.
