Summer berries

Picking blackberries is a traditional summer ritual among my folks.  Hot, humid weather, redbugs, briar scratches were all part and parcel of the ritual.
I don't know if I'll have a place to pick this year other than the few that are encroaching on the edge of the yard. 
We have black raspberries encroaching as well, and I picked a few.
To those who have the location and are hearty and hale enough to brave the heat and vermin, happy picking, and may the berries bring you good health.
