When I started making this photo I wasn't even aware of the mosquito -- the little bugger was something that was kind of a neat discovery. So, I've been feeling kindly about mosquitos since Wednesday morning -- abruptly ending Thursday afternoon when one of them put a serious welt and itch on my right forearm.

I think it's a pretty good assumption that these berries are not suitable for eating.

And oh, do you know Horsetails? They remind me of Bamboo, but aren't.

Some people call them Scouring Rushes -- gather a fistful, cut off a flat end, and the silica in the stems will provide a nice scrubbing action if you ever need to scrub your cooking pots out in the wilderness, along a bucolic stream where these things grow.

Nice bunch of photos. That mosquito is a real show stopper. Sorry you were bit though. Love the scouring rushes too. I think my days of camping are over so I may never use the scrubbing reeds.
