Since we live in a very rural area, my daughter and I have been very busy these last few days picking as many squashberries and dogberries as possible. |
Berry pickers would find a paradise nearby, with raspberries, blueberries, partridgeberries, bakeapples, gooseberries, marshberries, and dogberries in season. |
The brightly coloured dogberries make excellent photographic subjects, but also provide food for birds. |
The trail begins near the entrance to the town, extending through patches of dogberries and fireweed, along a beach filled with driftwood and shells and into a wooded area. |
Their summer beauty, overgrown by roses and dogberries, belies the past reality of hardship and suffering. |
