Summer Still Life

My friend Barb brought these beautiful figs. I rinsed them and put them in a bowl to take out to the front porch. They looked so lush and colorful, I pulled out my phone and photographed them before we picked one to eat. They were perfectly ripe and delicious.

  3. Fresh figs! Look how beautiful they look! I hope you share how you going to prepare them — if any last. I wouldn’t be able to resist them.

    • We ate them unadorned and they were perfection.

    Fresh figs. Sometimes hard to find good fresh ones and such a limited growing season for the “perfect” fig. These look perfect.

    • I’m sure your recipes are tasty. My mother used to say to Buy the best food you can and do as little to it as possible. This was such an occasion.

      • Sometimes less is more, that’s for sure.
