Focus on Life: A Pop of Red

Red helps me through the gray days!

As the year comes to an end, we are so grateful to Sally Russick for creating this Focus on Life Photo challenge, inspiring a bunch of bloggers to push the envelope of our creative photography.

This week's prompt is "A Pop of Red," just the right theme for some gray, cold, pre-winter weather we have been having recently. 

I knew I would find "Winter Berries" near the end of our driveway, even though we were having an ice storm. And looking across the lawn, I found a forgotten red infant swing hanging from a tree at our neighbors' house, probably too small for the baby when the weather gets warm enough to use it. 

I love these "Winter Berries" and just beyond, the bright red swing. 

Let's see what POPS the others have found.

  2. The red berries keep the landscape of winter from looking totally desolate.

  3. Gorgeous berries! We had a mountain ash in the backyard of the house I grew up in and there are thousands of picture of it with berries and fall leaves with the sun rising behind it!

  4. Beautiful berries. Every year I think I'm going to plant some berry bushes but somehow I never seem to get it done.

  8. Nature can always surprise us - she gives us a bit of joy just when we need it, doesn't she?

  10. I love your winter berries too! I can't believe yours (and mine...) are still there...the birds usually have them, but this year I think the birds have already hibernated up here, it's so cold. And the berries are frozen solid.
