I thought I was taking pictures of cherry blossoms but Google Lens identified it as Rubus pensilvanicus, known commonly as Pennsylvania blackberry, is a prickly bramble native to eastern and central North America from Newfoundland south to Georgia, west as far as Ontario, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, and Arkansas. The species is also established as a naturalized plant in California. They are a common wild fruit and can be eaten raw, cooked into pies, or used in jams and jellies. 4/22/25
