atlas goes foraging

February 8, 2012

Foraging

if you want to laugh regularly, it is good to have a dog.

atlas and i were out for a walk one day. i was off in my own world, taking pictures, when i thought i heard munching.

i was right. atlas was foraging for berries. i finally tasted one – crossing my fingers that they weren't poisonous – because he would not stop eating them. they tasted like a very mealy old apple.

i still have no idea what they are, but atlas approves.

    I was going to say pyracantha berries too…but didn’t know dogs favored then, just birds! haha… What next for Atlas’s list of grown talents… we can now add berry connoisseur! ;o) I just love Atlas Wednesdays! Happy Day to you both ((HUGS))

    I’ve never heard of those berries. Can you make anything with them?
    Atlas is a doll!

    @tammy & @tracy: i’m so happy to know what they are! thank you! if you say birds like them, maybe that’s why atlas likes them; he is a bird dog, LOL. (well, in breed; in temperament, he does not care one whit about birds.)
    @ann: jelly, apparently. after my one taste, i have no interest in trying it. 😉
