I had to come back and look at this again – I was telling a friend of the photo with the berries in colors from green to pink, to blue. I bought a clam shell of berries this weekend and I dare say the clam shell and the berries had exactly the same taste. I heated them up to see if that would get a rise in the flavor and got a whisper of blueberry – so I smashed them up with honey to add to my plain greek yogurt. If we get my garden together next spring – I am going to put in a blue berry bush.

You wrote about the bushes on your family farm being there thru generations and that is why with rhubarb for me. The rhubarb my mom, grandmother, and I have all came from my great grandmother – my grandmother took a start and has kept it growing 60 some years. Everywhere I have lived as a child and now as I own my own home – another start is taken and transplanted. There is such a strange nostalgia connected to that for me – the places I have lived may be temporary – but in having the start of something going back generations makes it seem less transient.

[...] I’ve told you all about my blueberry memories before here on SFTF; hinting at how these little blue orbs are such an important part of my summertime vigil over seasonal produce each year. In short, I adore them. [...]

You should dry some of your blueberries to use in granola or cookies or cakes later on!

A native Mainer here, compelled to chime in: you got a bum batch of Maine berries.

That’s not to knock the beautiful and no doubt tasty fruit that you have access to–congrats!–but the Maine wild blueberry, on the whole, is as good as the fruit gets. I currently live in California, which is an absolute embarassment of fresh produce riches, but the blueberries that grow out West are larger and less flavorful than what I grew up eating.

Nice post, excellent shots–food photography is not easy, but you sure make it look that way.
