I get used to strange looks from passers by when I'm out on dog walks, I can see the puzzled faces struggling to make sense of what I must be so intrigued by a bit of dirt, smelling a stick or eating strange weeds. Sometimes they ask but often they wander by with a wry giggle or smile.
This morning was just such one of those occasions as Hobbes and I did our morning tour of Kipling Tor. I was filling a bag with what must have at first looked like blackberries but as the walkers got a little closer they just gawked as I grabbed a handfull of fireweed seed pods causing an explosion of downy seeds to blow over them.
The fireweed is starting to seed and I am making the most of the opportunity to gather the downy seeds for use in fire making for the rest of the year.
But its not just the seeds that have a use.
