A friend of mine owns some land that has wild blackberries on it and she offered to let me pick some today. I spent about an hour and got almost enough to make some jelly. I froze them and I will have to go back again soon to get some more. These should be ready in another week or so.
A half and half in the background with yummies in the foreground! There is much to love about this photo… besides the blackberries! I love the way the great detail in the texture of the nearer tree is made even more prominent by the blur of the same texture in the far tree. And the overall composition is spot on, as usual… almost all the berries clearly focused, the two long twigs/branches of the berry bushes adding to the DoF and the bright greens/reds playing off the more drab color of the trees. Well done!
@corinnec Thanks Corinne . They sure stand out against the bark don't they? @francoise This spot had the most in one place of all the area I covered. @maggiemae I hadn;t eithe MM I can't wait until they are ripe @milaniet I rally appreciate that Milanie thank you so much @dutchothotmailcom thank you Esther @shutterbug49 I am glad you like what I liked about this one and I hope it will be as soon as I get enought berries to make it @marilyn Oh my word!!! You definitely have a talent for putting into words what I only imagine when I am composing a shot! Mad skills @madamelucy thank you Terri. It is definitely labor because I stayed stooped over most of the hour I was picking! I hope the jelly is worth it @ludwigsdiana I was grateful to the friend Thank you Diana @30pics4jackiesdiamond aww shucks thanks! Doesn't @marilyn do a great job of analysis? @koalagardens It sure is and such a good one too @wakelys I always try to leave some for the birds and the bugs, often leaving the dropped ones on the ground to share @joansmor Thank you so much Joan for you continuous support @johnfalconer I am glad you think so John thank you @olivetreeann I really wasn't etmpted at the time, perhaps because the seeds are irritating @randystreat most of the ones I picked were not this abundant with only a half dozen or so on each bush and the bushes more spread out than this but I do think this spot was very pretty thank you Kathy
@eudora thank you Diane. There was a lot right in this one spot but they were lots of places where they were not nearly as thick. @kjarn i’m so glad you like it Kathy. I can’t wait till those colors change to black.
