Strawberries, Strawberries, Everywhere

Earlier in the summer, I stumbled upon a wild strawberry patch on the edge of an industrial estate. It was my first encounter with wild strawberries, and they were tiny things.

Since that first discovery, they seem to have popped up all over the place. And today, I found one growing by the drain in the centre of our (otherwise concrete) courtyard.
