We had an eventful trip overnight to Yosemite yesterday and here are a few photos. One of the things that was interesting was to harvest some wild elderberries. I have been looking for them because it’s been said that my little king bird likes them in their diet. I like elderberry jelly as well so here they were all ripe and ready for the eating! Or at least so I thought! A word of warning… cook the berries first and only have a few and DO NOT eat any of the stems. My mother and I both did and suffered from mild cyanide poisoning 🙁
What great work! The berries and the colorful water subjects are really nice photographs!
Wow, awesome work, Eloine. Wonderful!
Simply stunning, Eloine. All very lovely, but the berries are my favorite. Sorry you got sick. Hope all is well now.
I had always thought elderberries were edible! It’s been awhile since I’ve been THAT sick – just wanted to invert my stomach. I guess they are okay if you cook them.
Another amazing photo adventure. Hope you are feeling better
Those are some very beautiful photos! Please be more careful though eating wild food, I do not have enough friends as it is, hate to lose two at once because of berries 😉
Wow Eloine! These photos came out great! Thanks for the warning about the elderberries — hopefully none of us make that mistake now. I’m looking into heading to Yosemite October 20th weekend to do some autumn color photography, if you or anyone else is interested.
