Berries have been dominating my photos lately, and for good reason! It's a bumper crop this year, and I have 5 different kinds of berries growing right around the house! The salmonberries are mostly done, and the big blackberries haven't started yet. But today I ate a bowl with (from left) thimbleberries (red), black caps (or black raspberries) and the trailing Pacific Blackberry (or dewberry). All are native to this area. I especially like the thimbleberry - it has no thorns!!!
