When I was a little girl my dad once pointed out to me some deer droppings while we were on a camping trip. Apparently he was pointing at the real thing, but what caught my attention instead were blue juniper berries on the ground, and I thought that this is what he was referring to. For years I thought that juniper berries were deer poo and wondered why it was blue and how the heck the deer got their poo to stick to the trees like that...
