WILD RAISINS.

.

Found along the banks of Kelligrews River. When fully ripened they turn from a brilliant red to a blue-black colour , and are a valuable source of nourishment for little birds during the cold winter months. Dogberries sustain the few robins who decide to remain. One of the saddest things is the decimation of our song birds. Only a tiny fraction remains of what I remember from my boyhood. Nothing must stand in the way of "progress". Very little of CBS has escaped the claws of the fron't-end loader. Even agricultural soil - the little that there is - is being dug up, trucked away, and sold for the new lawns. Who, in the end, will pay for the crimes that we have wreaked upon our planet!! Most humans tend to think that it all belongs to us to do with as we wish.
