The first pic of the day is a patch of those fantastically huge blackberries that they have in the Pacific Northwest. These were near the Columbia River in Vancouver, WA (featured in the other pic). They are also fantastically well-defended by big thorns - I refer to these plants as razorberries. I have been a little antsy because I know we have blackberries ripe nearby my house here in Peoria; I finally got to them today. Though they were still smaller than the ones shown in the pic, this is probably the best year that I have ever had for picking blackberries here. Some were pretty big, and there were lots of them. In two hours I picked about 2/3 of a GALLON. I'm hoping to make blackberry jelly out of this.
