Charles City County, Virginia, USA. At Shirley Plantation, the Calicarpa, 'Beauty Berries', were is full form. Near a building, in the shade of a large tree, this bush was only partially lit by the sun.
Fascinated as I am by its beauty, all the same a pragmatic agent's approach will result in profound study of this plant in terms of edibility.:) Love the colours & lighting, Thad dear. SAM & SAAB
The color and the lighting are gorgeous in this shot, Thad. I haven't had any breakfast yet, and those look like they would go well with a bowl of oatmeal. LOL.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Good result (fine Foofy Friday image) though Thad. If you had your flash gear available then, perhaps you could have done an attempt for a so called 'Fill-in flash'.

Thad, jelly can be made from this particular species and was also used as a folk remedy to prevent mosquito bites - additionally it was used to produce wine. The berries are beautiful - Nice shot!!!
The lighting is superb.
