Wild BlackberriesNo, not a top secret unreleased phone.  This is the edible sort of blackberry.  These aren't ripe yet, obviously.  They grow in prodigious numbers in my yard.  It might not be accurate to call them wild since I do actively encourage them growing there.  But I didn't actually plant them.  So let's just call their wild status a bit ambiguous.

Whatever.  They are delicious.  A couple years ago my wife found blackberries at the grocery store and bought me some, knowing how much I love them.  These were the farmed variety and were much bigger than my wild ones.  And they were awful.  The wild ones have a much more intense flavor.  Admittedly, the wild ones are pretty seedy but it's a small price to pay for the taste.
