Fantasy Blackberry V Reality Blackberries

I bought the berry on the left (along with a dozen or so others of equal magnificence) at the Farmers Market. Then I came home and picked all the ripe berries I could find in my garden. Guess which one tasted better.

On the bright side, I'd rather have the birds and other critters feast on the Reality Berries then to repeat what happened with the blueberries: finding them missing after watching and waiting for them to ripen.

Then again, isn't that what fantasies are?
