Black Berries with Climate Change Effect, Ballpoint

After two days of rain, I went out and checked the black berries. It was hot when the wind stopped. Some berries were forced to be ripen early so they were under sized and the taste was not good. Many fell onto the ground. I managed to collect a few. I missed the drawing exercise. I made a selection and arranged them for a drawing. I noted that even there was no time gap between the time I cut the leaves off the plant and the arrangement on the table. The leaves immediately curved up like they were drying out. This is the effect of the intensity of the heat in the garden. It's the effect of climate change!... The story of climate change seems to be even in these small berries and its leaves! I wonder how the climate effect would be in larger scale of our food production in the near future..

After drawing, it's time to taste. It did not take long. The chemical free berries just turned into liquid when they touched the lips. They are extremely delicate with a little bent in taste at the end... I gave back a third to the birds and the rest for ice cream dessert after dinner..

Garden ripen black berries is my favourite little step in the relationship with nature..
