Blackberry Season Underway in Burnaby

On the way home from getting a few groceries in south Burnaby, BC, I spotted a patch of Himalayan Blackberries. I found a place to park, and checked them out. Seeing that about half were ripe and juicy, I emptied a water bottle so I could pick some to take home.

While considered an invasive species here, they are pervasive, next to impossible to get rid of. . . and taste delicious :-).

UPDATE: Later the same day.

When Yumi finished work, we headed back down the slope to the flats and picked nearly two gallons of berries in about half an hour :-).
