Mahonia are blooming. Their bright yellow blossoms always bring a smile to my face. #nature #pnw #mahonia #OregonGrape #BloomScrolling

Still on a bit of a screen diet, but here's a #frostodon photo from this morning.

(I'm mostly feeling better but super exhausted from all the sleep disruptions, so I'm being careful about triggering a headache and taking a lot of breaks.)

#OregonGrape

Common #dogwood #berries.
I use them for making natural dyes.

Patch of healthy tall #OregonGrape berries.
I find them too seedy & sour for my personal tastes. I only like them in jams/jellies when mixed with a sweeter fruit to balance flavours.
