BACK IN THE BLUEBERRY PATCH, 2013

THIS YEAR THE BIRCH ARE GREEN. LAST SUMMER WAS SO DRY THEY WERE ALL IN YELLOW DRESS.

LOW BUSHES IN THE FOREGROUND ARE BLUEBERRY

HOT DAY WITH A WIND BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGH
 TO BLOW THE BLACKFLIES AWAY.

A STUMP FULL OF BLUEBERRIES

STUMPS ARE A GOOD PLACE TO LOOK FOR THE BIG ONES

SO RIPE THEY CAME OFF BY THE HANDFUL

ALL THAT JULY RAIN WAS GOOD FOR THE LICHEN, TOO.
