Not all foraging finds are created equally.

One of the many reasons to steer clear of roads is run-off and depending where you are, trash. 😬

This prickly pear is getting ready for summer, flowering now, fruit later. Perfect timing if you’re planning on making some homemade prickly pear iced tea.

Close-up of a blooming wild strawberry plant with a single white flower and bright yellow center, surrounded by three-part green leaves with serrated edges. Several buds are nearby, and the forest floor is softly blurred in the background.

I noticed that the wild strawberries in my yard are starting to flower! Strawberry flowers are tiny but when you look close there's so much pretty detail.

The local bunnies are feasting like kings! 🐇♥️🍓

I always feel better after time in the #woods. Fresh air and little green treasures like this garlic mustard scattered across the forest floor feel like a gift. It energized me to get creative with my art in appreciation. #foragingfinds #foraging #natureartist #garlicmustard #ecoartist
