Picking blackberries! by homeschoolmom

Picking blackberries!

When I went on my walk this morning, I took along a little bag to pick some wild blackberries. Thankfully, the blackberries were in the shade, so I stopped there to cool down. It was only 78, but with 97% humidity due to rain early this morning, it felt like 100 already. And it was only 9 a.m. YIKES!
YUM! There's nothing like sweet ripe blackberries on a warm summer morning!

I hope you don't mind that I am late to give you a challenge. What about a black and white photo, from what that is up to you. And again sorry.

@tstb Thanks, that will work. Not a problem. It's usually late in the week before I get around to in any way.

@lindasees Most of these were really sour! LOL! Tasty either way.

Oh my, I can almost taste them but in my imagination they are juicy and sweet!

Nice clear capture of these. I don't like the seeds but DH loves them. Picked him some from our yard yesterday morning.

Love the fingers to give it scale, and they are so rich and plump -- beautiful colors too! I love picking them...but not their taste, so others like going with me as they get a bigger share!

A great wild activity!

Good shot.

@jgpittenger Juicy yes....but kind of sour! LOL! Didn't matter, they still tasted good.
@zosimasy These were rather burred in the brush, so they were protected some. In fact, I got myself tangled up in one sticky branch. The more I tried the pull away, the more it wrapped around me! LOL! Liked to never got it unhooked from my shirt!
@randystreat Yes, they are very seedy. But, they are my favorite. I could eat my weight in them. I think I did as a kid.
@taffy Thanks, they are my favorite berries. In fact, they are blackberry cobbler is the only fruit pie I will eat.
@roachling @joansmor Thanks!

Lovely shot. I love their colors.

Nicely captured!

@quietpurplehaze Oh, that sounds good. Would have worked well for that, they need the sweetness of the apple as they were rather tart! LOL!
@photographycrazy @mittens @linnypinny Thanks!

Our club was on a photo shoot at a garlic farm today and there were blackberries all over. We did nibble some- they were very good! Nice shot!

They look so juicy

Nice colour combination. The blackberries around here don't usually ripen until August or even September!

@olivetreeann Yum! Great combination, garlic and blackberries! Bet that was fun!
@digitalrn They are definitely juicy......and tart! LOL!
@paulaw Really? That seems late. I seem to remember picking blackberries most of the summer when I was a kid. Here, it's just terribly hot, has been since early spring, so our summers are very long and the winters are very mild.
