I cannot believe the amount of native blueberries we have this year -- we must have predators keeping the varmints in check because we have thousands of berries -- and we even found wild strawberries. Tiny, but sweet.

So not too long after I posted I went to the spot I had in mind looking for blueberries. Picking for about 20 minutes and I hear a "crack' coming from the edge of the woods. 10 seconds later I see the neighborhood bear on his way to my spot! He didn't appear to be in a hurry but I was. He lingered for about 10 minutes as I watched ( and a few cars) and then headed back into the woods. I am about to go back and try again. Obviously he knows the picking is good but I am going to get my share also! Gotta remember the camera. Maybe he'll get a picture of me running away again.
