Description
Christmas Day I was out with my machete (!) clearing brush on the path up my hill. As I came down to cross the creek, I tossed the machete across the creek so I could climb down the last few steps safely. Unfortunately, it didn't go quite where I wanted it and landed in a huge blackberry patch. Then I had to stomp around till I get could get to it. When I moved the last of the vines, lo and behold, there were these last little berries!! I actually had my camera, so once I pulled it out of my backpack, took off the 2 pair of gloves I was wearing (one for warmth, one pair of leather ones to keep from getting speared, poked or skewered), I took a few fotos. This was my favorite--- then I ate the berries!!
For my berry good friend!!!

Great shot! I love the richness of the berries here! Fantastic! It's gotta be a great experience to go walking around with a machete!

We used to pick blackberry's with my mother, when we were kids. Then would make homemade blackberry ice cream in those old crank, ice and salt freezers. Excellent picture. Todd

How amazing, to find berries this late in the year! I hope you didn't really eat them - they couldn't have been very good. bleck I can see you tromping about with your machete, my intrepid friend! :)

How exotic is that? Picking Blackberries on Christmas Day. It's beyond belief, in this country anyhow. Fantastic capture Marilyn, it must be warm where you are. Still now snow here instead it's cold raining and misserable. I am not having wild Blackberries for after my tea/dinner, instead I'm having Blackberry jelly/jello with fresh whipped cream. Bravo!!!!!

The blackberries where you are, are some of the best I've ever had. I think because of the cooler temps in the fall and the sea air over the mountains. I always try to get my berries from up that way. Great shot.

Very cool shot of it Marilyn and very smart to bring gloves!! I hope they tasted real good to you! and that is cool your machete found you some nice ones hehe =]

Splendid colors, clarity and textures in this berry good capture of the sumptous berries, which appear virtually jam or jelly at this point. Hope they tasted delightful after all that strenuous stomping through the foliage. Incidentally, the leaf in back is in an advanced stage of disrepair.
