Reading today, I came across these lines from The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd: "Drifting off to sleep, I thought about her. How nobody is perfect. How you just have to close your eyes and breathe out and let the puzzle ofthe human heart be what it is."
Yeah, I thought. Exactly.

yes but their is beauty in each season...lovely cheerful berries...
It sure is a 'bitter' plant to have in the garden (too invasive). I took a picture almost exactly like this the other day. The colors and texture were not to be ignored.
I am not sure what this is - they look tasty! But I'll take your word for the bitter taste...
They are beautiful though - and a nice shot!
That is gorgeous Sandy!
Mine are local flowers in the Land of the Morning Calm.
Great photograph. I have no idea what kind of berries they are but they are beautiful.
Like a holiday decoration.

Life at times may be bittersweet but when I look at your profile picture my "single impression" is you look like a very caring fun person.

Oriental Bittersweet is very invasive.
Hi Sandy,
Great photo of this plant called in botanical name Celastrus orbiculatus.
Have a nice day.
I haven't seen this plant before but it looks gorgeous. Actually I have necklace that is inspired by the berry and its "leaves" on top.
So pretty!
Life is definitely bittersweet!
The berries look lovely though!
The picture is beautiful and makes you want to eat.
Have a great week!
Perfect combination of image and words ...
Hugs and blessings,
Beautiful photo: wonderful quote!

A beautiful marriage of this lovely photo and quote.
I enjoyed that Sue Monk book!
The bittersweet berries are lovely.

Lovely berries! I always love to use them as part of my Christmas decor.
Thanks for posting the thoughts of the Secret Life of Bees, pretty deep. Makes a lot of sense too. ;-)
Sandy: That was a colorful capture in the tree.
Hi Sandy, they remind me of Christmas, how attractive. Okay time to bring out all the christmas decors.
Thanks for the visit.
Beautiful photo...poignant quote.

Such beautiful blooms to be called bittersweet. Vibrant colors.
If I were a bird and maybe I am, I'd find these succulent and offer one to you.
Beautiful colours. Autumn has such splendid rich hues.
Autumn shades are quite bewitching I always think...
hello sandy... wanna take this opportunity to thank you for your usual visit... a visit from you is indeed a blessing... your comments really made me happy God bless!take care always...
so beautiful nature can be. wonderful colors
You have posted awesome picture of flower that looks bright and cheerful. Enjoyed going through it. Keep on sharing some more pictures like this.
perfect blend of red and yellow! and what a deep thought!!!
havent seen one in the philippines. though there are some similar plants that has berry like fruits.
I don't know if I forgot, or simply never knew that bittersweet was the common name of an actual plant. Though it seems like it may have been one of those things I heard once upon a time that just didn't "stick" because I had no use for it.
Unlikely, though, that I'll forget it again.
Great lines from The Secret Life of Bees. I have never heard them before. Your photo is fantastic Sandy. Thanks for sharing.
those colors POP .. love how the background fades to grey ..
Beautiful shot Sandy!
That quote is very lovely. I haven't read that book yet and this was a nice teaser quote.
Beautiful bright berries! The Secret Life of Bees is on my To Be Read list - now at the very top thanks to this wonderful quote that you've so kindly shared.
Exactly. Beautiful photo too!
those are beautiful cherries and about life...it's full of uncertainties =)
love those bright red berries they look full of life... that is a great line in that book as well!
ur a flk of goodness
The structure remindes me of my ho model structure when my hobby was ho trains
The bittersweet is gorgeous. The quote is on the mark. Hearts are mysterious.
It may be bittersweet, but the colors sure are lovely!
"The puzzle of the human heart" isn't that the truth! Btw: what a wonderful, wonderful photo. The yellow and the red together really stands out as a wonderful contrast yet so complimentary of each other.
lovely photos - love the colours, a happy photo! Nice quote - how true...
