Feast Your Eyes: Oregon Hood strawberries

oregon hood strawberries
I never know what I'm going to find when I click on a thumbnail in the Slashfood Flickr pool. Images that look great small don't always translate well when they get larger. Sometimes they aren't quite big enough to feature (I need something that is at least 425 pixels wide in order to be able to use it here) and frequently the colors that popped and got my attention initially just don't work in a larger size.

However, sometimes I click on a thumbnail and I am thoroughly rewarded. Today was one of those moments as I discovered this image, a plastic green basket of fresh Oregon Hood strawberries. I've been eating berries lately like they were going out of style and so have chomped my way through multiple quarts just like this. Sadly, I find strawberry season to be bittersweet, because for as wonderful as the berries are, with each bite I think briefly about when they disappear from the markets.

Another great summer treat is wild huckleberries which can be picked in the mountains or found at www.nwwildfoods.com all year around. The berries can be picked in the cascades or other mountains July-September. These wild berries are great tasting and healthy too. Much more flavorfull then blueberries.
