Berries


I love walking through Vale.  Every season brings its own beautiful things.  The middle of July brings berries!  Seeing these never fails to remind me of my childhood - in the best way.  There's something special about finding these in the middle of the city and eating them while they're warm from the sun.

Black raspberries

These grow wild right here in the city.  They can be found in many places; I'm sure birds spread the seeds.  This particular group were found growing in Vale Park.

When I was a boy, we called them blackberries but it turns out we were wrong.  My mother-in-law calls them black caps, which is what lots of people here call them.  Their true name is black raspberry.

The season is just about over, except for a few hiding in shady locations.  Is there anything nicer than going for a walk and picking a handful (or two!) of beautiful ripe fruit along the way?  My purple stained hands say there isn't!
