serviceberry (saskatoon), ink on japanese paper
Bit of a hiatus from posting - serviceberry blossoms seen on a run a few weeks ago. Each spring the bushes can be seen dotting the gullies of local hills soaking up the moisture from the recent snowmelt, a haze of white blossoms. Historically the plant has been used for a lot of things - you can find detailed information in this book, Montana - native plants and early peoples, by Jeff Hart and Jacqueline Moore.
