I got a bucket and started picking the berries yesterday......I must remember to douse myself in DEET before I attempt that again.
 
 
Had some on the breakfast this morning....... really good.

 
The insects have been ok here.
 
The yellow flies have run their course so it's safe out in the woods again and it seems to be raining so much that the mosquitoes are insignificant. I guess it's when the water stands that the mosquitoes get a foot hold.
 
We've been making the most of the cooler morning and evening hours because we know the skeeters are probably about to take over.
 
:-)
 
 
 
 

Dislike skeeters...they suck. ;-)

Yikes!
 

Lucky. Living in Salt Lake (Basically a desert) I have to buy mine. I go through about 2lbs a week from Costco. Well worth it though!

Picked in the pouring rain. Ready to eat. Cool and fresh.

Blueberry pie is one of my favourites..or was..
... I just recently learned that we don't have blueberries here..It's billberry we are eating.
 
No wonder I couldn't understand back then  how the bear in Mickey Mouse comics was hiding behind a blueberry bush...a 10 inches high bush :o) A few years ago they developed a blueberry brand that grows this high north. Billberries seem to have much stronger taste. I don't know how the wild blueberries in north America taste, though.
Do the wild blueberries dye everything blue? The ones they're selling in the market places here don't have a strong dyeing effect like billberries.

I bet your eyesight is pretty good though!  Billberries are excellent for eye health (I use them to reduce eye fatigue from staring at a computer monitor 16 hours a day).  They were also used in WWII by bomber pilots to help with night vision.

In the South East USA we have a wide variety of Blue Berries. Some grow on short ground cover type bushes and others grow on  bushes that can be 12 feet tall and big and round.
 
The State Agriculture departments have encouraged the development of cultivars that have profuse and tasty output. The cultivars are based on endemic stock so they not only thrive but they also volunteer pretty well.
 
They are all capable of making your teeth turn blue. :-)
 
We also have "Sparkleberries" which look very similar but taste more mealy and tart. They aren't just tart blueberries but they look real similar to a lay person. 
 
We also have wild plums, but only one out of many trees has tasty fruit so if you know of a good tree out in the forest you are probably not telling anyone ;-).

There is a very nice deli and cafe up the road from where we live and they have these amazing blueberry and lemon tea cakes for sale. We are getting them almost every day. Here is a variation on it but I will post the recipe I am thinking of as soon as I find it.

It is very important you have some excellent apps for these blueberries.
 
Similar vibe but different shape maybe:
