1 more picture above in a note!

Our blackberries started getting ripe about a month ago and we've been enjoying scones and crisps whenever I go out to pick a new batch. We have two areas where they grow, and this morning I couldn't resist taking pictures of a few berries down by our front gate. They are so pretty on the bush and nice to compare with the slowly ripening red ones! :) I have included a picture collage I made last year showing what we do with our berries! :)
