Wild plums this morning

This is an experiment. These are three kinds of wild plums which I have pitted, covered in strong alcohol and then a long-cooked heavy syrup with spices. I don’t know what it will become over time, but here is a photo showing you how it all began.

I hadn’t planned to photograph it, but I became enraptured by the irregular glitter of the morning sun on the glass. It looks smooth until you see the way the light dances on it. It made me notice the forms and colors of the plums and go get the camera.

That’s a lot of pleasure from something Paola and I found on our Sunday morning walk and stuffed into our pockets!
