Blueberry season

It's blueberry season in the North Carolina mountains. 

We set off Sunday to resume our hike along the Art Loeb trail.  This time we had a special objective: the blueberry fields along the trail that start about a mile in and then go on forever.  We got a reasonably early start and arrived before the heat.  It was in the mid-60s, with a welcome chill that seemed to blow upward from the valley below, but must have been some sort of dropping convection.  It turned into a nice morning that attracted a lot of people as an after-church activity, and we gathered about 3 quarts of berries.  There are plenty left!  


Larsen looks forward to the blueberry hunt


Aki and Larsen check out the blueberry fields along the Art Loeb trail in the Pisgah Forest.


Pancakes?  Pie?  Blueberry buckle?  The possibilities are endless.

  
There are more over here!




Blackberrys, too. 


Frank and Larsen take a breather.
