I found these wild berries growing at the entrance to an old silo. I gather the silo was made by company in Missouri. I wish it had the date stamped with it. The berries are called Boysenberry. As a kid I called them poison berries and my mother warned us not to eat wild berries. Funny thing is I showed these photos to my husband and he said they're not poison. In fact his grandmother used to make boysenberry jam. And guess what - we found a jar of it in a shop near the Galleria in Dallas. It has a similar taste to black berry jam. Are there any wild berries growing near you this season?

Beautiful tones and processing.
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are beautiful, so soft and light-filled. Wow, you're back on blogger...what a happy surprise.
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful! I love your processing! There are red berries around here (though I don't know their name - I think I'll have to put them up) and then bittersweet (or so I learned, not that I knew before... ;-) )
ReplyDeleteSuch soft and lovely violet tones. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo THAT's what boysenberries look like! (and, can understand how a kid could be confused; boysenberry and poison berry sound quite a bit alike ;D) I love the processing!
ReplyDeleteI love boysenberries! Soft, beautiful photos and great processing! So soothing and lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely lovely, Kristy! Thank you so much for joining us in the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge. I hope you'll be back again next week when we move on to our new theme, brown. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful photos. I love the softness. I don't think I've ever had boysenberries.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Life. Captured! I love your processing! Such soft, beautiful texture. Also love the background~poison berry. It's so funny how our minds work when we are little. You've done a great job of capturing a bit of nostalgia, especially so with the processing.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know those were boysenberry. I never hear about anyone coming back to blogger, that is really interesting! I am to big a computer chicken to move anywhere.
