The salmonberries are starting to ripen. Today was a beautifully sunny and dry day, quite unlike the earlier part of the week. Monday and Tuesday we experienced quite heavy rains. But that is now just a memory (until the next big rains come) and all we see are high clouds, blue sky, sun on the hills, and salmonberries turning shades of salmon (duh!), pink, and red.
I tasted one and it was quite sour. They're about 1/2 to 3/4 inches in length and about as half as wide. They are hollow inside with a large "cap" that connects the berries to the stem.
