 Touching grass... and berries. This mountain top had so many wild raspberries and blueberries.

 It looks like there’s a tiny eyeball in  that 5th picture! 
Blueberry …or proof of ancient aliens? 
 Definitely aliens. Millions of years ago this mountain top was under the ocean. Definitely ancient aliens. 
 Nice & Sweet!  gr8 note 
 Beautiful! Happy Sunday for both of you! 🌻💜 
 Thank you 🥹 Kids came too but didn't want to get out of the car until I found the berries 😡 
 Well, smart move 😉 
 Cool dad outfit 🤙 
 Am dad. Can confirm. 
 The better it gets, the better it gets!!! 
 Do you bring Bear spray with you in case you find a surprise on the other side of the bush? 
 Nope. I grew up playing in the woods. Never once saw a bear in the woods. If I did, I'd probably shiy my pants, then scream at it like I was a crazy person with my arms above my head to make me seem huge. 
 Lol 
 I used to backpack in Desolation Wilderness around Lake Tahoe, let's estimate I spent 20 days there over my lifetime.  And I saw a bear just once, at a distance, and he wasn't interested in me.

OTOH in Yellowstone in the 1970s I saw black bears many times, just walking on the roadside or wherever.

It entirely depends on which 'woods' you are in. 
 I miss those wineberries. They were everywhere where I grew up in SE PA. If you happen upon them toward the end of the fruit being ripe they taste a little boozey (hence the name).
