I met a fun guy

And yes, it was really flame orange like that.


It was a beautiful day for a hike, and I was pleased to discover the mountain was covered with these:


Pretty much anywhere I wanted to stop for a minute, I could gather a handful. And I did, several times. They were tangy and sweet, each one a little explosion. Fantastic.

Wild blueberries are the best thing ever on hikes. Or canoe trips; it likes to hang out on the edges of ponds and oxbows. Mmmmmm blueberries...

[misterx.livejournal.com]

Indeed. They are such a treat, especially when you forget they are in season and then you see some.

When we would go hiking in Maine we would pick *THE* best and biggest blackberries you have ever seen! They were SOOOO YUMMY!

It was truly amazing. It was in a dark area of the forest, lots of overgrowth on the hillside above blocking the sun. I came around this corner in the trail, and at the end of this rhododendron tunnel is something bright orange, glowing like the sun. It was surreal. It startled me, because I didn't know what it was, and for a split second my brain thought "alien!"... which is kind of a bizarre first reaction, if you think about it. Lol

[vivacious1nj.livejournal.com]

i think my brain would have been captured by the same alien thoughts!
it's so awesome that you found this spot...
and even more so that you shared it...
(((hugs)))

Not many blueberries in Florida, I take it?

on the other hand, you can get oranges and grapefruits off the tree, so it's not all bad.
