Yesterday I took my camera along for a little photo safari with the dogs in the park. Nora and I have been picking blueberries in the park for almost 2 months, and on the hike I went to an area where we have not picked lately. I was wondering, 'still blueberries here?' And yes there were lots of blueberries there (see bottom photo). I did not have a berry bucket and just gorged on the berries hand to mouth.
It's amazing - I ate my first berries this year on June 29th, and here it is September and we are still eating berries. What's doubly amazing is that people have not picked all the berries. I did notice that there were lots of berry pickers in the park in early to mid August, but the numbers have slacked off as of late. I think people assume that all the berries have been picked.
The berries have also gotten huge. Back in early July the berries were pinky nail sized and not very sweet. These days they are thumb nail sized and super sweet - like grapes!
