The wild blackberry thicket is blooming! It blooms two to three weeks earlier than the cultivated version we have in the garden, and the berries are a little more sour. We let the thicket stay, in the hopes that the birds will fill themselves on the wild berries and leave the others alone.

This has never worked. But the flowers smell good.

Hand held, manual focus.
