Hiking with my daughter in the Brian Tierney Preserve in Roxbury on Veterans' Day, we noticed how noisy the walk seemed at the higher altitudes where the path was covered with newly fallen, crisp oak leaves and how quiet it was along the water, where the leaves had been walked into small pieces and silence. Along the quiet part of the trail, we came across these berries where a hedge had once demarcated the end of someone's farm.

You are doing such nice things Sandy.
ReplyDeleteThose berries glow more brilliantly than the crown jewels. Always a pleasure to find something so beautiful.
Peaceful life you live...thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe surprising shock of intense red at this time of year is like a gift.
ReplyDeleteI like the curved vine on the right--it seems to be saying this one is special!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely composition! And the berries' standing quietly as guardians of the boundary is very inspiring to me too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beauty, Sandy.

Beautiful. Sounds like you had a great walk. Beautiful photograph.
ReplyDeleteI just had to check. The Brian Tierney Preserve has a geocache that hasn't been found since April.

The berries are so pretty this time of year when the red shows up. Ah! Peace and quiet. Sounds great! It'd wonderful that your daughter still enjoys hiking with you. :)
ReplyDeleteYour photo of berries is breathtaking! Loved your post. I hope a bear will find those berries for lunch?

I think berries are fall's berries. I enjoyed your description of your walk.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall photo!
ReplyDeleteThe exciting things we discover when we bond with nature!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful composition of the fall red berries! We have an evergreen shrub that grows wild here called Toyon. It has bright red berries that start appearing in November and December, just in time for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteA great idea for a paintimg When do u have time 4 all this, it takes 3 hours to dress!

Hi, Sandy
ReplyDeleteYes, nice shot! Do you know what type of plant that is, with the red berries. I recently posted a photo taken a week ago of what I think may be the same plant. My best guess was The Autumn Olive, or Elaeagnus umbellata.
