Mary Sue Ittner recently photographed the fruit of Twinberry, Lonicera involucrata.

They look like little corsages! This plant is a native honeysuckle. The berries may be poisonous to humans, but Black Bears have been seen eating them.

Thanks to Mary Sue for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

No wind this morning so the Pacific Ocean was flat calm. On a walk with Rick and our golden retriever, Duffy, at Gualala Point Regional Park, we saw whale spouts. No need for a sweater either as it is quite warm on the Mendonoma coast today.
