A Lone Wild Strawberry

Walking out on my back lawn at the start of the holiday weekend, I noticed a lone red dot, about 1/4" in diameter. I plucked it, only to find it was a single, wild strawberry. No more to be found anywhere.

I first shot it with a reversed 20mm lens and got a really tight crop, but then switched to the reversed 40mm lens to get a better overall view.
