Juniper berries. This morning I took this picture on our walk. Who knew that juniper berries are a "male fragrance" for cologne, a spice used in the cuisine of Central Europe, notably for sauerkraut and venison, and used medicinally as a diuretic and to treat indigestion, flatulence, and kidney and bladder disease?  In fact, juniper berries are the only spice in the botanical group coniferae. This is just so you'll know.
