I have a hard time believing I have no pictures – at all – of ripe elderberry fruit. After digging through file after unfruitful file, I thought it might be faster to just go get a new photo.
Not quite.
The berries aren’t ripe yet here at Wild Ozark.
But maybe they are on top of the hill.
A not-so-quick 4-wheeler ride out there tells me not quite.
So, I’m back to digging through photo files to see if I can stumble across it. I know it’s in there somewhere. There’s just no way possible I’ve never taken a picture of it while the fruit was ripe.

I’m a naturalist, herbalist, real estate agent & artist. Sometimes, I also write things. I began using local pigments to paint scenes from nature in the Ozarks in 2018. Medicinal herbs have been a passion of mine since the early 1990’s, and I studied with Amelia Plant to earn my Traditional Herbalism certificate.
Would you love to have a place of your own out here in the rural Ozarks? I’m also a real estate agent with Montgomery Whiteley Realty, under my real name Roxann Riedel. I have a separate website for that at WildOzarkLand.com.
For pretty much everything else that I do online, I go by Madison Woods, a pen name I adopted when I first began writing and then later with my art.
You can see all of my art at the home page: www.WildOzark.com, and my online shop is at shop.WildOzark.com.
I’m available for presentations and workshops, and occasionally I host field trips to identify plants, gather pigment rocks, and make paints here on our property in Madison county, Arkansas.
