Berry prospects looking up

Blackberries, black raspberries, marionberries, whatever the  bramble bush harvesters want to call them, things are looking up this year. 

The promise of a bumper crop of blackberries this summer lines most interurban trails as far as you can see, with hikers soon competing with Stellars and crows and deer...you name it.

We'll also be out there competing for our fair share. Those clumps hanging a foot or two off the ground though, leave 'em to the fauna.
