"Lily of the Valley" is a highly poisonous, but very beautiful, wild flower. All parts including the berries, are poisonous. The white flowers, looking like tiny bells, have a wonderful strong scent. It is a popular flower for bridal bouquets. I hope you enjoy looking at these berries.

All comments are most welcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

I have some pain in stomache, so I wish you had told this somewhat earlier, Susanne, lol.

Very fine post.

The light on the berries is phenomenal Susanne. It makes a great still life presentation.

Looks like little micro-tomatoes in corn husks. These Lilies of the Valley are deceptively beautiful. I think the general darkness of the composition contrasted with the bright little beauties portray this very well.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.

Perfectly composed and taken photo. Beautiful berries hiding in the greens but enjoying the lights through them. Great work, my friend.

I love red berries of any kind and wasn't aware the lily of the valley, whose scenet I adore, had red berries. The colors and lighting on this image are wonderful, Susanne.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
