A child's hand reaches for a ripe blackberry on a wild bramble.
A child's hand reaches to pick wild blackberries, Rubus fruticosis, choosing the black ripened fruit. Green unripe and red ripening fruit can also be seen in the image. Blackberry picking is a traditional country occupation in the UK in late summer and early autumn and foraging for free food has become more popular in recent years. The blackberries can be eaten raw, cooked in pies or puddings or made into jam.
