Default Taking a closer look

I have been trying to look more closely at things I photograph. I do not have a clue what kind of tree this is, but I thought it was pretty. I took this on the only Sunny day we have had recently when my husband took me to a local park. Thanks for looking.

Hello there - I love your presentation .. they look like some sort of berries .. we have something similar in the midwest and the robins flock to this tree at this time of the year .. the collage really shows it beauty

I'm not sure, but it might be a Pyracantha. We had one in our yard growing up. If I'm remembering correctly, it was thorny, but had gazillions of red berries.

Nice presentation.

I feel the same way. I have started looking at things differently as I stroll through parks and trails.

I like your collage Sheriliz. It seems we used to call these choke cherries when I was a boy but, I really have no idea what they really are either. Very nice job presenting the bush and all the pretty red berries.
