On a dog walk today. I came across the most beautiful Rosehip bush.

As I went to get better look, some naughty brambles gave me a kiss. However, it didn’t deter me from getting closer and seeing them in their full glory.

When I see something growing in abundance. I like to take a small amount for personal use to use in recipes, healing or rituals.
