Simple, alternative leavaes. Minutely toothed leaves (cannot see very slight seration
in the images). Berries have 5 lobes forming a star pattern. Leave are more
lance-like rather than somewhat ovate (oval) leaves of the Dwarf Bilberry
(Vaccinium cespitosum). Dark blue berries when ripe. It was growing as a very
low shrub covering up to a 20 square foot area. Not 100% certain of the identification
as Vaccinium angustifolium species as it could be one of the other
Vaccinium species.

Picked two cups of blueberries. I fed the mosquitoes and got stung by what
I think was a wasp.
Made a smoothie based on the recipe I found online for the
Wild Blueberry
and Hemp Shake. The ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups of spring water.
- 5 Tablespoons of Hemp Seeds.
- 3 Tablespoons of Agave Nectar.
- 1 Tablespoon of Coconut Butter. (optional)
- 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract.
- 1 10-ounce package of frozen blueberries. (I used 2 cups of fresh blueberries.)
- 1 Cup frozen banana.
- Pinch of Sea Salt.
Directions:
- Blend everything except for the frozen ingredients on high speed until it is white,
cremy and frothy.
- Add the frozen ingredients and blend again on high until smooth and creamy.
- [Note: Since I used 2 cups of fresh blueberries, I increased
all of the ingredient levels by 1-1/2 times (2-1/4 cups water, 7-1/2 TBs of Hemp
Seeds, etc.) except for the Agave Nectar.]

Very large patched of Lowbush Blueberries. Most of the Blueberries had been
either picked or eaten. Go back in mid-July next year.
