A canopy of berries

After our disappointing spring mushroom hunting experience, Bryan and I were overwhelmed by the amount of summer berries we have discovered. There is a local trail within biking distance of our house on which our friend noticed mulberries. I have been passionately hunting wild mulberries since Papa Steve cut down his mulberry tree. While picking a few mulberry bushes on the bike path I noticed raspberry bushes. Upon closer inspection I found the entire path was over grown with black raspberries. If you stopped to look up you discover that you were under a literal canopy of red and black berries. Gleefully we pick two quarts of black raspberries before we tired. It was more then enough to make a batch of jam. Later that week we saw black raspberries selling at the farmers market for five dollars a pint. A forager's savings of $20!
