Saturday Scavenger Photo Hunt “Wild”
Theme: Wild | Next Week: Road
The summer before last in Oregon I found the most wonderful spot – there was a proverbial graveyard of rusted farm equipment, and growing all around were wild blackberries. (They could have been marionberries, but I’m not up on my “Berries 101.) I stayed photographing for quite some time, and ate berries off the vine as Cali romped happily off her leash. Somehow, I managed to pick a few to eat later.
The experience brought back childhood memories of finding a “secret” place, and the simple pleasures of summer past.
Oregon, Oh Oregon…..I miss that blue state so much…..excellent blackberries…..salmonberries…..cherries…..
Such a beautiful crisp photo! The berries look very yummy
There isn’t much that’s better than blackberries fresh off the vine…
Beautiful shot of Mother Nature’s jewels.
Lovely shot! There was a blackberry tree on the walk from my elementary school to my grandparents house. I ate many berries from that tree. I would leave and have purple stained fingers!
Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
happy weekend
I love fresh blueberries. We were camping at a little spot in Canada many years ago. There was a short walk down to the beach that was lined with blueberry bushes. Full of blueberries. On the beach were fresh oysters. So we went down the little hill early in the morning, collected a bucket of oysters and another bucket of blueberries. Then back to the camper to make blueberry pancakes which we ate with roasted oysters. Not exactly something we’d ever eat at home, but sure tasted good out in the wild!
The Pacific Northwest and blackberries go hand and hand. I’ve never seen so many blackberry brambles anywhere else when I lived in the Seattle area. And people thought they were weeds! I would always offer to go relieve their weeds of their tasty treats.
Awwww, Blackberries is one of my favorite – I love it warm on ice cream – my mouth is watering.
