Berry Hunting

We went up to my mom's property to pick some blackberries. The drive was thick with them; big, ripe and juicy! Daisy loved them! We would toss her the over ripe ones, and she would scrounge for them on the ground.

One of the ones I tossed to her pegged her right between the eyes!

There were some trails off the main road and we found some chittim trees that had been de-barked. Trees look very strange when they don't have their bark.

Blackberry picking was only semi successful, as a lot of the berries were overripe. We finished off the day going to my grandmas to check out her blueberry patch. We were very surprised to find over twenty some bushes totally hung with berries!!

We picked and picked as fast as we could! There were berries just falling onto the already semi-blue covered ground. I was trying to quit eating them so I didn't get a stomach ache later, but they were so juicy, it was hard to stop!!

My grandma's bird, Halo, came out to observe the harvesting. He really liked blueberries too, so he and Daisy fed on the berries that covered the ground.

We ended up with WAY more blueberries than blackberries, but that was great! It was a perfect berry picking day!
