An experiment in natural dyeing in three photos:
- two gallon bags of pokeberry clusters I foraged from a local park, simmering on the stove for an hour (with added salt and vinegar to hopefully help set the dye without mordant)

such a baloney when businesses use that as an excuse for all the horribleness they do - “create jobs” what a bull!
I remember finding out someone put #poisonous #fracking fluid into the #Windsor #Town #Sewer. I saw the politician ~ Scott Brison that day and said ~ what is going on? He said jobs!

The Berry Banquet #ShareMondays2026 #FoxOfTheDay

Enjoyed watching this dog #fox snuffling up #YewBerries last week! They’re #poisonous to people & most animals but NOT foxes 🦊 More info in Alt! #nature #wildlife #mammals @ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social @rbgkew.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

This is a photograph of a male red fox foraging on a path for red berries. They’re from a mature yew tree! Yew berries have a sticky, sweet, jelly-like flesh that is technically edible for humans, but the hard seed inside is deadly poisonous! Apparently the flesh tastes like lychee, but there’s no way I’d try it them! Foxes, however, CAN eat yew berries, and they often do. The sweet, red outer part of the yew berry (called an aril) is fully digested by the fox. The seed inside the berry contains dangerous toxins, poisonous to many animals and humans. A fox's digestive system passes these toxic seeds completely intact and undigested. The hard seed coat prevents the poison from releasing into their bodies. They usually suffer no serious ill effects from eating the berries, though eating a large amount can sometimes lead to messy, brightly coloured scat full of the hard seeds! And this mature dog fox, known to many as Sebastian (I didn’t name him 🤣) was absolutely hoovering them up! Here’s the image description for the visually impaired:

The fox dominates the upper left and centre of the frame, leaning his body forward to forage. His head is tilted down, with his eyes narrowed and his snout to the ground. A tiny red berry is visible right under the tip of his black nose as he scoops it up with his tongue. His fur is a rich mix of bright orange and russet tones on the head and back, contrasting with a patch of white fur along the jawline and under the chin. His large, upright ears are lined with dark fur on the outer edges. The front legs are covered in brown to black fur, ending in claws resting on the ground. The ground is a rough, textured grey pavement. It’s densely littered with small, crushed and intact red berries, along with tiny green pine needles. The background is softly blurred. It transitions from a dark, shadowed area behind the fox into a brighter, soft green grassy patch on the upper right, keeping the main focus entirely on the fox's activity.
