Each morning when I walk past the blackberry bushes, they are in complete shade, dripping with last night's dew, and gleaming in low light. This shady, shadowy light has a blue cast to it that I like and that I do not try to alter. To me, it brings out the "blackberryness" of the plants as the edges of the leaves, the thorny canes, and the leaf spots all turn purple, stunning against the green. ©Carol Leigh
