It turns out I have a lot to say about blackberry plants.

(This plant is black raspberry.)

Orangewing moth. Was excited to see this little creature when it landed on someone's hand. The orange that gives it its name can be seen on its underwing, but not in this photo.

Unfortunately, right after I took the photo, the moth flew directly into my tuna salad and smothered itself. 😫

Advice you'll thank me for later: do not step in bear poop. Avoid!

What I learned: It's the consistency of tar and smells like nothing else you will encounter. Time does not dilute the odor. But 409 works pretty well. Don't worry, .

Lichen-covered boulders are my cash crop...
