Spring grill

There's nothing like watching a burger cook on the grill on an unseasonably warm spring day.  No bugs yet, no hot sun, just beef, flame, and that wonderful smell in the air.  I used a little bit of flash bounced up into the sky to bring up the burger and wooden tray a bit; those grills can get pretty dark.  There is definitely an art to photographing food on the grill, so I'm sure you will see many more throughout the summer as I work to refine the technique.  And, I'm open to BBQ invitations...just for the sake of my art, of course.
