Botanicals: Celeste fig (Ficus caprica).

This morning I dined on fresh figs and cream – a favorite summer breakfast since I was a boy. This is the only time of year that the birds and I do not get along. They are as greedy for figs as I am, the only difference being that they would eat or despoil them all leaving none for me, while I am willing to leave a few for them outside the netting I use to cover the bush each year. My munificence is not appreciated.
