Wild Berries: Thimbleberry and Raspberry shine like rubies near Sylvan Pass, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

I'm really excited for all their fruit!

For those that don't know, thimbleberries are a native rubus in my area, and here they usually can be found growing in forested areas. These are growing in full sun with a thick mulch & heavily shaded soil, and they seem to be thriving. They support a bunch of native bee species, including bumble bees, and at least one moth.
