There are Black Raspberries (Rubus occidentalis) ripening up here. Tempting me as I am out on my hikes. Though Black Raspberries look quite similar to Blackberries, when you look at the berry, where it was picked from the stem, it is hollow. A Blackberry is solid.

I enjoy seeing the Black Raspberry bushes with their pale blue-green stems. That makes them really easy to identify.

These berries make hiking for photographs even more fun!
