Field Notes
Sunday was such a beautiful day -- I decided it should not be wasted! I grabbed a walking stick, my camera, some water and headed to Newberry Neck, walking the road which parallels Morgan Bay. I knew I would find invasives here as I had seen evidence before but had not had my camera. I spotted several instances of bittersweet and lupine among the stonewalls.
Supporting Evidence
Long glossy leaves, almost round. Edges are finely toothed. Clusters of berries with yellow skins.
