Hi guys. Sometimes I only have a few pics that I don't think are worthy of a dedicated thread, so I thought I'd just make this one and add to it in those situations.

Here's a few pics I took today. I thought I'd take an hour to go picking some wild black raspberries for my Mom. I don't like them myself, & she's legally blind & can't really pick them, so I do it for her every year.

My batteries went dead, or I'd of taken more pics. I think I went picking a little late in the season, because there weren't very many berries.

Here's a cornflower AKA Chicory. The dried roasted roots of this plant can be used as a coffee substitute.

This is an assassin bug that was on the raspberry plants. They use their needle like probe to hunt bugs, stab them, inject them with venom, then suck out their juices. And yes, they can bite people too.

Sallie went with me. She's our youngest Weim (< 1 year old) and our only blue.

Wild yellow flowers. I believe it's wood strawberry. The leaves look like weed, don't think it is though.

This is all I found after an hour of picking.

I used my DFLE (look, it has freckles!) & SS4 to clear weeds and brush out of the way.

I had a much better haul last year...

I don’t believe I ever posted the pics from my Memorial Day cookout, so I’ll go ahead and post them here too.

It had been raining, and the yard was soaking wet. The wood was also soaked, and sitting it wet grass waist high behind the barn. Can I start a fire using only a firesteel & natural materials with wet wood? Let’s find out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Here you can see my shoes wet from gathering the wood.

Here you can see the moisture boiling out of the wet wood.

Gotta wait for it to burn down to coals.

I posted a pic of these bug eggs before when I found them on a tree. Well, now I see what the adults look like.

Great bug pictures! The colors and patterns of that assassin bugs abdomen would look great as scales on a Busse/Bussekin blade.

There should be a Scrap Yard law about teasing us with so many burger shots! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I do not know a living soul who doesn't love a burger from the grill in the backyard. THOSE look fantastic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

God gift to the sences... the Peony! What a wonderful smell and a beautiful flower too! The Iris are gorgeous when early but they wither too soon and become a gooey mass of muck on the stem.

Ten burgers for three people... I must have missed the phone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Thanks again my dear friend for sharing all these great shots!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


Peace.
