berry obsession

I've become obsessed with the sheer number of berry types here in the English countryside. Every day when I go walking I look for new kinds, and I am rarely disappointed. There are so many sizes and colors, they're on bushes, on trees, on vines.

For the most part I find them really pretty, but I know that the bright colors often indicate poison. I found this website that mentions some that you can eat and some that you really can't. You'll see quite a few of these in my photos, including the dangerous Yew, which I just discovered this morning:

It's probably good that Bug is not here with us. She tends to try anything that falls to the ground, and so I would be worrying about her constantly! Dare I say it? I would be berry worried. (oy!)
