  Thank you! I will admit though, I use a lot of internet resources ;) But it is helping me learn a lot about what I see and how I look at things when I am out and about. Posted 11 years ago

    Don't we all? Still, it does take knowledge to find what one is looking for. For example, even with internet help, I fail to identify 99% of all fungi. I simply lack the knowledge. Posted 11 years ago

The Western Serviceberry

''Amelanchier alnifolia'', the saskatoon, Pacific serviceberry, western serviceberry, alder-leaf shadbush, dwarf shadbush, chuckley pear, or western juneberry, is a shrub with edible berry-like fruit, native to North America from Alaska across most of western Canada and in the western and north central United States. Historically it was also called "pigeon berry". It grows from sea level in the north of the range, up to 2,600 m elevation in California and 3,400 m in the Rocky Mountains.
