Nice shots. I used to want to grow tomatoes until I saw those big 'ol green tomato worms. LOL! No thank you. :-D The birds do serious damage to my apricots. They always get to them before I can. Nice shot by your daughter too. :-)
beautiful captures...i too have not planted any tomatoes as the last freeze was the middle of may...and i may not even get around to it as we are so busy.
Oh how awesome to be able to grow your own tomatoes. It is something I seriously want to try this summer as there is nothing quite like growing your own food :)
The next door neighbour's dog came and ate the tops off some of my young corn plants. Wonder if MC pans would keep him away?? Though I think I'd probably have to throw them at her. We have put up a fence to keep her out..
Those tomatoes look really good ... in a way, I can't blame the bird !!
I love the monochrome shot ...it does do the sky justice..

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this… When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome To Holland”. “Holland?!?” you say, “What do you mean “Holland”??? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy” But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place. So you must go and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around…and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills…Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy…and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned”. And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away…because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss. But…if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things…about Holland.

Naughty bird! I'm amazed you have tomatoes already. I haven't even put my plants outdoors yet!

Wonderful, I'm weeks from my first tomatos.
Birds they are mean to our gardens.
So so jealous of your tomatoes. We didn't plant any this spring because we were moving.
That's a great catch on a SWF post. Love those tomatoes, even with the naughty little bird they look delicious.
Very nice. That picture looked like the scenery near home.
Such pretty skies..Lol..behind your superb tomatoes.
Beautiful Photos... SkyWatch brought me here. I'm so jealous of your tomatoes. I planted too late this year.
Mhmmmm, they look good (before the bird biting, that is). Nice pictures.

Birds know what is good ! This tomato looks so juicy. Hope you've done the harvest before birds make all disapear.
Some refreshing shots, Marcia !
