Blueberries in September

Hard to believe, but there are still wild blueberries on the bush in the middle of September. The blueberries bloomed a month or two early this year and are still producing a month and a half after they are usually through.

Wild blueberries are so sweet and might be arriving earlier this year. So beautiful in green and rose---don't you think?

Blooming Blueberries

These wild blueberries are blooming at the Indiana Dunes this April, way ahead of schedule. They are so tiny, so delicate, and so tasty once they turn into fruit.

Blueberries on their way

The blueberries at the Dunes are filled with tiny blossoms. In a month or two we'll have tiny blueberries to brighten our hikes.

Blueberries May 16th to June 13th.  Does someone who watches the wild blueberries become ripe have too much time on their hands? 

Butterflies and Wildflowers and Smiles....at the Indiana Dunes

The weather was great; a little cool until you start walking up the steeper dunes; nothing like a walk up a dune to warm you up. The sky was amazingly blue.

The lupines are blooming. The woods were full of the purplish blue blossoms.

The berries are promising their summer fruit; big, white blackberry blossoms and the tiny, pink barely there blossoms of the wild blueberry.

Hundreds of butterflies flitted through the flowers. The few visitors out for a wander through the dunes all wore bright smiles that rivaled the sunshine....an afternoon at the Indiana Dunes.
