Wild Blackberries

Our family has been picking blackberries daily these past few weeks. They are as delicious as they look.

Here is a fun thumbnail linky…

But if you prefer the old style, you can use this linky:

  1. Mmmm! They look great! Doesn’t everything always taste better when you get to pick it yourself? Plus the kids love it!

  9. I miss that about living in the Pacific NW. We had the best blackberries growing wild in the paths behind our neighborhood in Portland!

  12. My 2 year old took a look at that picture, pointed at it, then pointed at his mouth. I guess we are going to have to go and see if we can find any mulberries outside today.

    Great shot!

    Happy WW!

    Cheers 🙂

  13. Mmmmm… our favorite! There are some that grow right outside our church, so we always get a snack before we go in.

  20. Is it sad that I was expecting the *other* kind of blackberry? Signs of the times! That picture looks good enough to eat!

  33. I miss having access to wild berries. I remember eating blueberries until I was sick when I was little. I love a good blackberry too! Excellent photo!

  35. Mmmmm, my absolute favorite-est berry in all the world. Cobbler, jam, fresh off the vine. I love good plump blackberries.

    Did you know that blackberry brandy is an excellent foreign travel accessory? When a new food hits your tummy wrong, a splash of blackberry brandy soothes almost instantly. I was a doubter, but when I travelled to China to meet my daughter, I had to rely on it more than once. My uncle used to travel all over the world for business and he shared that tip before we left! I was thanking him profusely on more than one occasion!!!!

    Mine’s a funny WW – at least from where I’m sitting this summer with two teen boys, anyway!

  36. Those look gorgeous. We missed berry picking season here in NY since it came very early. Next year we are hoping to try some that are on the tree in our yard.

  45. Those blackberries look so yummylicious! My dream is to some day have my property lined with raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry bushes! 🙂

  48. That picture is so gorgeous, I can taste the warm blackberry juice fresh from picking. Brings me back memories from when I was a kid, picking blackberries in the country with my mom and makes me want to find some near Chicago to make some jam! Thank you for inspiring me!

  50. The blackberry season is pretty much finished here now. It was a good year for them and we picked our share. Yummy but the wild plants are very thorny and hard on the fingers.
