I hope i worded that alright.Oh my gosh, that's quite a story!
I'm glad it was a warning .
I meant that it was amazing that happened, on your way home, and you explained it all so well with the details.
I called it quite a story, meaning a true story.
Sorry if it wasn't clear, dear

Today is 13 degrees and sunny. 
We went to the Celtic Shores trails and it was quite foggy on our walk but on the way back it cleared up.
It was really nice out today. I took my jacket off. It was really beautiful.
Here’s the first bridge that I always take a picture of.
Here’s some geese.
I’m having problems uploading my pictures today for some reason.
Big fluffy clouds.
Across the bay.
Anyway, that was my walk for the day. It was a 4 kilometre walk. It a perfect amount for today.
Have a great day.

today we went to provincial park. It was 13 degrees Celsius outside and sunny. We walked 3 kilometres and saw 3 people.
Here’s a beautiful campsite.
Here’s a beautiful view from our walk.
Here’s the lighthouse and registration office.
Here’s the town across the bay.
And here’s a saucy squirrel telling us off.
According to my husband I was walking substantially faster than I normally walk today.
The weather was so nice I took my jacket off and wrapped it around my waist.

On my walk this morning, I hadn't even left my street before I saw some Bin Chickens scavenging dropped fast food
It quite cool morning and there were some Galahs enjoying the rising sun.

Today it was raining in the morning so we waited till the rain stopped and the sun came before going for a walk.
It’s 13 degrees which is perfect when the sun came out.
We walked up to the lighthouse and back. When we got back to our car, there was a woman with a nice looking German Shepherd walking towards the cars.
There are more boats lined up now than there was before.
The town from across the bay but at a different angle.
And this is the Bras D’ Ore Lake on the way home from the front window.
My sister in law sent me a Happy Mothers Day message today and my father in law called me and wished me a happy Mother’s Day. I thought that was really nice.
That’s it. Have a lovely day.

Today we walked on the in town forest trails. We did the whole walk this time which took 50 minutes. We only saw one other person who was sitting in their car in the parking lot.
My heel didn’t hurt today at all which I’m thankful for. Here’s a few pictures of our walk today.
It’s 13 degrees Celsius and sunny. I had my hoodie wrapped around my waist.
What a beautiful day it is.
Hope you have a great day.
Here are some hyland coo cows and a horse taken on the way home.

Today we went for a walk in the provincial park. It was sunny and 13 degrees. We started off our walk climbing uphill.
Then we turn left and go up another hill. Then we cross over and meet the road on the other side . Today I saw some type of berry I dont think I’ve ever seen before. Does anyone know what this is?
Today there were a few lobster boats out.
One was dropping off some empty cages and picking up some others. We could hear their radio playing music as they were working.
Here are some startled deer on our way home.

Just checking in to say I'm behind on looking at pictures of your walks, so I saw the last 3 days all in one visit today. Such a beautiful area where you live, and all in walking distance.
No - we have nothing like that here (the berry picture you posted). We do have purple thistle in Texas:

Thank you for visiting my walking thread. The area we live in is beautiful but the walks we go on aren’t in walking distance of our house. . We drive to them. Most places are about 20 minutes away but some are half an hour to 40 minutes away. For instance, Celtic Shores is about a 45 minutes drive. It costs us about $12 a day to go for a walk in gas alone but we don’t drink or smoke. Our walks are the highlight of our day.
Love the thistle.

We went into town today since I had an appointment with my nurse practitioner.
It was only 7 degrees and cloudy. It rained this morning and felt quite cool.
Here are the pictures I took.
Here’s a deer we spotted on the way home.

I searched AI for the plant with the berries...here is what it did:
That is a great photo! What you are looking at isn't actually a cluster of berries yet—it’s a tight bunch of **flower buds** that are just about to open.
Based on the location (Nova Scotia/Eastern Canada) and the specific look of those pinkish-purple "nubs" and the bright green, serrated leaves, this is a **Red Elderberry** (*Sambucus racemosa*).
### Why it looks like that right now:
* **The "Berries":** Those little pink balls are the flower buds. In a few weeks, they will bloom into small, creamy-white or yellowish flowers arranged in a cone-shaped cluster (unlike the flat-topped clusters of the common Black Elderberry).
* **The Real Berries:** After the flowers are pollinated, they will turn into actual **bright red berries** by mid-summer (usually July or August).
* **The Timing:** Red Elderberry is one of the earliest shrubs to leaf out and bud in the northern woods, often appearing while the rest of the forest still looks pretty bare.
### A Few Quick Facts:
* **Edibility:** While the berries look beautiful, they are generally considered **toxic if eaten raw** (they can cause quite a bit of stomach upset). Many people cook them into jellies or wines, but the seeds must be strained out.
* **Wildlife:** Even though they aren't great for humans raw, birds absolutely love them. It’s one of the best shrubs for attracting songbirds to a property.
* **The Leaves:** If your friend from the forum were to crush one of those leaves, they’d likely notice a pretty distinct, "stinky" or unpleasant odor—that's a classic giveaway for this plant!
It's a beautiful sign of spring for those living in the colder northern climates!

Thanks Dennis. That’s very interesting. I’ll have to keep my eye open while I’m walking past it. At least I know it’s not a berry or cluster of berries. I’ll make sure not to try eating it since it’s toxic.
