This bush was just loaded with these chokecherries, but I decided to pick out the best of the bunch to give to you. I used to love these when I was a kid, but..boy howdy..do they ever make your mouth pucker :)PJ

I love this. The shadows and the cherry red against the green looks great. It really makes me want to eat them! Nice shot.

So they are pretty tart? They look tasty! Would be hard to resist just popping a bunch in your mouth. I like the close up and how bright the bead-like cherries appear. Nice job!
