Planting native blueberries creates delicious moments throughout the seasons in everyday life, for those that cultivate the soil and those wild creatures that delight in our 'gardening for wildlife' endeavors.

What a beautiful series of pictures following from bud to blueberry. The pictures of bees are extraordinary and I love the one of your reflection in the water droplet.
Fantastic photos. I have always liked the look of birch trees we have one in our yard. have a wonderful day !
This has me longing for blueberries again! Alas, I will have to wait until next spring/summer. Very nice macros of the berries and bees. Great bird captures too!
Hello again Carol, i already ran out of adjectives to write here. But you know how smitten I am with your photos, haha! If only I can take a photo like these, i will join the GGW photo contest. I hope when i finally get a lens with larger aperture, blogging is still en vogue!
Such pretty color. I love the red tangier.We have the western tangier here, though we don't see them often. Once again I am entranced with your beautiful photos.
Awesome photo series! Love how you included the birds enjoying the berries :)
It's always a restful few moments spent visiting your blog, Carol. The passage of time is always so profound when you clearly see the amazing changes it produces in a plant. Beautiful, as always. ~Cat
As usual, I saved your blog post for quiet time, to enjoy the photos and your dialogue. To see the blueberry from spring to fall...the magical rain drop photos, among others.. sigh...quiet time indeed. Such a pleasure visiting your blog Carol. Thank you.
Beautiful! On the west coast we have huckleberries and they have very similar flowers and fruit to blueberries. Of course, most of the ones around here are evergreen. :D
Carol dear, You've convinced me~I am planting the blueberries I've been looking at all summer in my garden~Now that the rains have returned! II hope I might get one or twoo to taste but plan to share with the critters, too. gail
I don't know how you do it but everything you photograph looks so beautiful.
We just planted some highbush blueberries this year.
I love you rainbow photo in a previous post.
Take care,
Carolyn
Exquisite photo essay, Carol. The macro shots and the bird in flight are particularly masterful.
