There’s a super park in Cherry Hill, NJ where I bring my little ‘charges‘. It’s a quick stroll down the road a piece and makes for some pretty fun photo opportunities. Apparently, the community has set up a garden in Barclay Farmstead. I see people every so often, tending to their own little corner of their gardening world – straw hats on heads, tiny spades in hand. This is the first year I’ve had the chance to see the flowers and veggies in full bloom. Some are cared for more diligently than others, but it’s a fabulous site to see, nonetheless. Last week I spotted, hidden among the flowers, the last of this seasons plump, juicy Jersey tomatoes. I walked the perimeter to see if there was a way to get a closer look but, for good reason I suppose, there was a gate, and it was locked. More than anything else that I could see, there were lots and lots of flowers.

Walk on…

Getting closer to those ripe tomatoes!
I can’t get in! But it appears that this guy, hidden in the flora and vegetation, did…

Hidden in the garden
And now, he can’t get out!

Hidden in plain sight
His body language screams frustration! I hope he at least gets to taste some of those rosy tomatoes. Jersey has the best!
