The sky was a beautiful blue, especially as seen from under the fringe of the old oak tree in the middle of the field.
I wasn't alone in my trek across the field:
a wild turkey was out browsing in the weeds near the edge of the marsh,
this little toad was almost blending in with the wheat stubble,
there were many butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies,
and a hawk was out looking for supper.
Entering the woods, I found what I was looking for; ripe, luscious berries shining like onyx in the evening sun.
The end of the trail, as the sun goes down.
By the time I had gotten to the end of the woods path, the sun was sinking low, and I had collected three quarts of berries. Tomorrow's project: blackberry jelly!
