Black Beauties

At last the blackberries are ripening and are awaiting a gentle hand to pluck them away to be transformed into something delectable. The bears have been a major problem in populated areas in my neck of the woods, but i've never seen one while foraging in the forest. Our neighborhood bear has been in my yard, but never tried to fight the blueberry netting. Hopefully i won't be fighting a bruin for my share of the forest's bounty!
