The beauty of the blackberry and that..

Prime August activities include picking some blackberries. Here is a photo of the prickly bramble with that black sheen on the fragile  composite berry heads.                                                                                                    

A marvel for still life artists. My mother in law had a mug that was hand painted with a sprig of the unripened red and the ripened black fruits. The other beauty is Jason and his job as shown here.                                                                        

Vegetation can get out of hand and a little trim in August helps.
