Saw this at Taneum Lake yesterday but can't seem to find it in any guidebooks. Any ideas?

Looks like a black gooseberry to me.

Girlfriend has an "app" on her "smart phone" called "Picture This" that immediately returns common and Latin name of flora when you take a picture of the plant.
I'm too dumb for smart phones. I have to use the field guide.
I'm confused on that one, so here you go:

(* as an aside: the Evergreen Huckleberries (V. Ovatum) down at Pt. Defiance are ripe and in abundance now.)

here you go, fourteen410:

Thank you! Never knew currant was anything other than red, but you learn something new every day

Definitely Ribes, but I would go with R. sanguineum because (1) the berry is upright (not hanging as in all of the images of divaricatum), (2) the berry has a distinct waxy bloom, and (3) there are no thorns on the stems.

You must be right! Plus, the berries are purple in the sanguineum (according to the internet!).

They aren't good to recharge an ebike.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

Ribes sanguineum, common name red-flowering currant. It is extremely common everywhere around here. While it is called red-flowering, the berries are not red, only flowers are. Berries are black/purple. It is edible, but few find it tasty.
