Snow?

No, not yet, though the keen wind blowing today makes it feel like snowy weather.
Locally there are several gardens with Snowberry plants.  On one hedge the branches were hanging right over the footpath so I brought a bit home to photograph with the iPhone 6s:

Though various mammals and birds eat the berries they can be poisonous to humans.

  1. I love them. As children we used to pick them, put them on the footpath and pop them by lightly tapping them with our feet. They make a lovely popping sound. Haven't seen any for years.

    1. Adrian: Yes. OK. Just that little has caught my attention this week as far as photography goes.

  3. Lovely photo. We have some of the berries in the garden - interestingly here birds never seem to eat them. Red berries seem to be the favourite. Although I have bought a callicarpa with its lovely purple berries as I understand over wintering Blackcaps are partial to them :)
