I think the bears were next in line for the berries! :-P
We really had a wonderful selection of delicious berries while camping! Thimbleberries, huckleberries, two varieties of raspberries, AND june berries/saskatoons.
Peace

I grew up in Tanzania, Arusha, which is close to the Equator, but is cool because of the altitude (Mt Kilimanjaro is close by).
On our coffee farm, we had a lot of raspberries and they are, still, more than sixty years later, the sweetest and largest I have eaten. Sometimes I wish I could fly back just for a taste of them again.
Lol! The cigar is photoshopped. The rest.....well.....it cant be helped!!
Actually...i forgot the very best berry we found on the trip...
Wild Strawberries!! These guys were barely bigger than bb's, but they were the sweetest, tastiest strawberries I had ever had! It was all thanks to my boy that decided to look for these tiny treasures amid a patch I pointed out. I just noticed the plants and was like "hey, strawberry plants" and he said look "cute little berries!"
I was in Greece (late 1970's) and was asked to take an American geologist up to the north of Greece. We took a look at what he wanted to see and then drove up a mountain, towards what was, at that time, the borders with Yugoslavia...
We stopped and walked around and the local Greek showed me some tiny strawberries, which were the sweetest I've ever tasted. He also got me to taste some tiny smooth red berries and they were also delicious.
Years later I went to Savonna in Italy and was taken to a restaurant on a cliff, by the seaside.
We had wild boar and at the end they proudly brought their speciality as they rarely have it. Tiny bowls with miniature strawberries and the smooth red berries were served and I recognised them as being what I had eaten in Greece. My host told me they are rare and extremely expensive, but because he was probably the top Italian poet at that time, the restaurant went all out to give him the best.
Funny that you would tell about the small strawberries to the one of the few persons who knows what you are talking about
:)
