[Leica] Little Robbers

Our two-year old cherry tree blossomed two months ago, and yesterday 
we picked the first tiny crop of about thirty delicious bing 
cherries> I'm in email mode, not LR4 mode right now, so I'll post a 
shot of one bunch later; I already put on the LUG gallery a shot of 
the blossoms.

In what part of the world are you with that variety of hungry vegetarian 
birds?

So far, the birds did not discover the cherries. I don't think we'll 
have that luck with our fig tree--the bastards take one peck at each 
fig. I'd be willing to give them their fair share if they'd just 
stick to entire figs.
