The colors are so vivid, and that shade of green complements the orange perfectly!

Do you know what those berries are? We have a mulberry tree with very similar looking fruit. Mainly food for the birds … unless you step on one with white sneakers. They can make quite a stain!

Were you able to eat a few of the ripe wild blackberries?

When we were kids we'd take our bikes out in the country and eat wild asparagus that grew along a fence line! I still like asparagus.
