Clearing Woods - Ferns and Other Forbs - Part 2

Dreaming of a Lush, Mountain Meadow
There is a time between the spirit-lifting colors of October leaves and the white beauty of winter snow, when colors fade and darkness creeps up on me. To ward off the dreaded blahs, I spend some time dreaming of a lush mountain meadow.

Clearing Woods - Shrubs Part 5 - Brambles Part 2
Blackberry, raspberry, black raspberry. What's the difference? The names seem to be used with abandon to describe plants with fruit ranging from red to black. I'd always thought that raspberries had red fruit and blackberries had black fruit and that was that. But, this isn't actually the case.
