The photographs

Red raspberries on 6 June in two tiers — the old canes standing bare and bleached above, bark peeling in strips and their tips dead and shriveled, a dense mass of fresh green growth crowding up beneath them under flat overcast light.

Red raspberries on 7 July, a clump arching straight out of mown grass with no edge to it, the fruit thin on the cane and at two stages — hard cream ones and bright pink-red thimbles, a few already fading tan and drying where they hang.

Red raspberries on 12 July, eight or nine thimbles scattered through one arching prickly cane and no two the same shade — deep crimson beside a paler pinkish-red already drying — the leaves flipping pale, almost white, underside-up in hard midday sun.

Red raspberries on 17 July at every stage on one thicket of canes — deep rose thimbles beside buff-tan and greenish-cream fruit and a good many already shriveled to husks — with grass flower panicles woven right through the planting.
