Dog sitting today, so took a walk out back and found some pretty color and things I didn't know I had.

The new growth on this pine is almost pink (at the very tips), caught my eye. I'm now trying to ID the pine, we got it as a seedling from a local Christmas tree farm so if I am unable to do so on my own, I can ask them what it is.

Found several of these twinberry bushes, which surprisingly (to me) are in the lonicera family:



Snacked on a couple salmonberries:



The bittersweet is just about to open up, but I thought it was pretty with the purple buds:



Another budding evergreen, Sitka spruce:



A pretty little native tiarella:



Contrasted by my favorite giant thug, Devil's club:

I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
