Whether in a Topsy Turvy planter, a backyard garden or a proper farm, it seems growers (and eaters) everywhere are anxiously awaiting prime tomato time, when it's safe to finally pick the ripe red, orange and yellow fruits straight from the vine. Unfortunately, the cold and rainy summer that's plagued many regions of the United States has delayed tomato season for some. But not for Flickr user ccharmon, who got hold of the cherry variety and managed to make the tiny critters seem larger than life. Not only that, each seems to contain a million little flecks of the sunshine that helped make it so perfect.

Until we find such sun-kissed tomatoes of our own, we'll settle for gazing at these scarlet beauties -- even if that means a little drool ends up on the keyboard.
