Sunset and poison


This is an imperfect picture of our sunset, so is the next one. I have a new camera and I am still unsure of it on manual mode.

This is poke, I think people eat the leaves like salad. The berries are poisonous but some herbalists have had given them whole to people. If swallowed, they pass without killing you and are good for fibromialgia pain and for some types of cancer. I dont suggest taking them...
The root can be tinctured and given in miniscule amounts for ailments. Also not suggested without an herbalist! Basically if you have this plant in your area, make sure your children dont eat the berries.
