Here is a quick iPhone shot of the “flat lay“ of the food.

We are officially in the equipment and product testing phase. So far the remote flash trigger is misbehaving. We are also missing a few key products that will be in the final photo. They have to be bought fresh and ready to shoot within a couple …

16 lbs of cherries at $3.50 per pound. A good price to pay for fun in the sun and to feed three families!

At around 11:30 am the orchard started to fill up with people.

After picking a bucket full of cherries, we headed back to the farm stand.

Don't forget to look up from under the tree. Some of the best cherries are hiding in plain sight.

Many of the best (unpicked) cherries are closer to the ground or high on the tree tops.

Finding a perfect pair of cherries was so much fun!

There was plenty of room for social distancing between rows and rows of cherry trees.

The darker colored cherries were so ripe they kept falling to the ground if accidentally touched.

Don't forget to bring a small ladder. It will save your back!

The first plastic bag filled up quickly. But we brought a bucket with us from home to pick for three families.

We wore masks whenever other people were picking cherries nearby but took them off when we were alone.

Other trees had way too many cherries to pick.

Some trees had only a few cherries left, but they were incredibly delicious!

Finding the ripest cherry trees was like a treasure hunt and lots of fun. Most trees had plenty of cherries, but not all were ready to be picked.

We passed by so many rows of cherry trees heading towards the back of the orchards.

The farm stand at the entrance already had a few customers checking out.

We chose Nunn Better Farms in Brentwood to pick cherries. Although we drove past many other cherry orchards that were open in Brentwood, we stuck to the plan and arrived at Nunn Better Farms early in the morning. They recommend coming before 11 am …

The cherry-picking season is in full force now between the end of May and the first few weeks in June. Since cherry-picking is at a farm's orchards, it is considered as an "essential business" and is fully open for business. There are a few …

Since the app is an invite-only, I can only speculate on how it could work. It sounds like live podcasting with the audience being able to interact with the celebrities. That seems like the biggest draw to the app. In theory, who wouldn't want to …

It looks like Rode NT-USB Mini has a built-in pop filter, while the Rode NT-USB has an external pop filter. Yeti Blue doesn't come with a pop filter, but it is a relatively inexpensive add on. I also found a Yet Caster that includes the boom arm …

I'm looking for a great microphone to record videos for a YouTube channel. There are plenty of good mics for under $200, but I can't decide which one to get. I'm only considering USB microphones for convenience and portability. So far, I've found …

Hey Denise, our Embedly link expansion provider is having an outage again. We hope that they’ll be back up online soon and the photos will show properly again. Here is the conversation about the outage status: https://cake.co/c/TFG8dGm
