Same Place. Different Week.
For a couple of months I've been meeting two friends every Thursday to hike on trails near our homes. And although we often cover the same territory, there's always something new to see. Here are a few photos of the sights we encountered last week.
Thimbleberries (Rubus parviflorus). Some were ripe, so we tasted a few. Pretty good!
Blackberries in bloom. The fruit won't be ready until later this summer.
The PlantSnap app on my phone identified this plant as rockspirea (Holodiscus dumosus)... probably.
It has a lovely scent.
Does this say "Wow" or "Mom?" I'm guessing Mom.
This Pacific banana slug (Ariolimax columbianus) slimed its way across my front sidewalk. We saw a big one (4+ inches long) on the trail today, too.
As summer progresses, different plants line the paths. I can't wait to see what's in bloom next week.

My raspberries were a mess. I had let the weeds take over my patch. I finally got the weeds out but the patch is scraggly looking. Low and behold this morning, I went out and picked at least a cup and a half of raspberries. They sure tasted good with a ton of whipped cream on top. Glad you are keeping up with your hiking in the neighborhood. My doggie and I got attacked by a german shepherd on our walk tonight. He really was just menacing and growled but his owners were in the yard when all of Enough that happened. If it happens again, I'll call animal control. Loved your pictures as always. Sitting down to record now.
