Four deep red berries, plump and glossy, cluster beneath a tangle of thin, curling stems and one brittle, brown leaf. Their surfaces glisten faintly in the angled sunlight, set against a softly blurred backdrop of dark foliage. The low, natural light emphasizes the berries’ rounded shapes and the rough textures of their withered canopy.

These little #berries popped out to me after mowing the yard. There's some #nightshaColorADayt particular area, these may be part of that.

Honeysuckle always reminds me of summertime. We had it in the backyard growing up. But I’d never seen a pink honeysuckle until today! Same scent, same shape, just dressed up differently. #Honeysuckle #SummerMemory #BloomScrolling #Nature #BackyardBotany #PhotographersofBlueSky #Photography

Lovely random backyard find today!

Bright and crinkled, like it opened under pressure. Hidden just enough to feel like a surprise. Squash blossoms don’t stick around long, but they always bring something bold. #SquashBlossom #ContainerGarden #BloomScrolling #BackyardBotany #GardenPause #PhotographersofBlueSky #Squashblossom

Picked up a couple of orchids for the yarden! Heath Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza maculata) and a Southern Marsh Orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa). Let's hope they're not too picky... #backyardbotany 🌱
