More Autumn Fruit

These Bushes I found in a very swampy area and they were loaded with these beautiful colored fruits. They were a stark contrast to the grays and golds of all the surrounding vegetation.

Hi Doug,

Looks like you took Ken's large aperture suggestion to heart. Nicely diffused background and beautifully focused fruit. Any idea what they are?

Great photograph there Doug.

A number of edible berries grown in swampy areas but there names escape me at the time. Good work on the depth of field that you were wanting to achive.

Found an ID for this plant if anyone is interested. Winterberry (Ilex verticillata) is a native American holly found near woods and wetlands.

Oh very nice, its a holly! I forget there are deciduous Hollies out there;our native is a spiky evergreen!
Your species is a popular choice for Bonsai too!
