These woodland strawberries (Fragaria vesca) are easily confused with the commercial strawberry varieties we normally eat when they are in flower. Their fruits, however, are much smaller and have a much more intensive taste. Not everyones cup of tea. They grow happily in my backyard, where this image was taken.
I was caught between a rock and a hard place in balancing DOF and sufficiently blurring the grass in the BG which was quite close. It was my intention to "echo" the flowers in the OOF FG. C&C welcome!
