"We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get it, the magic, educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow path and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God’s sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they’d allowed to wither in themselves."

Cherries. Sweet. Juicy. And a little tart. From my backyard trees.

White wall background. The bright sun was hiding behind some clouds. 50-200mm lens. Post-edit: Overexposed it and decreased color saturation. Increased tint and contrast a bit.
That’s it.

Sausage, peppers, onions, mozzarella, and a hard-boiled egg. And… dehydrated veggies in lieu of chips. :)
