Silk tassel bush (Garrya elliptica) blooming in the park. Although it doesn't grow natively quite this far north, it thrives in our climate.

Browsing while cruising
I do check out the evergreen huckleberries (Vaccinium ovatum), even in winter. They may be tiny and a bit sour, but they are tasty. They do make nice shrubbery along the sidewalk.
