      <image:caption>The walk would have been a circle, but this suspension bridge still isn't in service.  It's a short out-and-back to this point, and a longer out-and-back around to the other end of the bridge.  The earlier pictures are from the longer walk, which we did first.  It's longer, but not very long -- between 1 and 2 km.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We walk by this on our neighborhood walk twice a week. Kelly pointed it out. I went out in the heat to capture a photo before they disappear. There's almost nothing else in focus near the berries so they almost float in space. The leaf and the branch on the left provide a little bit to control eye movement toward the berries. The leaf on the right helps make enough foreground for there to be more layering than just the berries versus everything else.</image:caption>
