Wild Blackberries

We spent the weekend up on the rim again....we love it up there. This time we picked a "free" spot and left our trailer up there so we have a space ready for Labor Day weekend. It is a really wonderful spot. I was thrilled for the kids when they found wild blackberry bushes and soon their little hands and faces were stained pink and purple from the juice of the ripe berries they all enjoyed. The ground was also covered by wild strawberry plants....but unfortunately they are just out of season or completely picked clean by the deer and other wildlife.
