Berries

We inherited a nice clump of blackberry bushes in our backyard when we moved in. The girls let me take some pictures of them while they were picking them yesterday.

I really like this one. Web-size doesn't do it justice.


I asked Charlie to tickle Grace and this is what I got :)


They looked at what we shot on the back of the camera, and they felt the berries weren't featured enough. So I climbed up on the swingset to take this one.


Charlotte lost her first tooth a few weeks ago (at Cayden's birthday party actually). I think her gap-toothed smile is cute. She has been waiting for a long time to lose a tooth. She was really excited. I've got a funny tooth fairy story about it, but I'll save that for a later post.


I asked Grace to look closely into my lens. This is what I got. When she was a baby I always thought she had the biggest, roundest eyes. She's still got 'em.


Some snaps of the berry picking. Those bushes are really prickly - you have to be careful where you step.






It is interesting. The berries are in clumps, and the middle ones ripen the fastest. Right now many of them look like this, with one ripe, black berry in the middle.
