Black Beauty by grammyn

Black Beauty

This tree or bush is about 20' high and looks like it is covered with clusters of grapes but they aren't! They are a black berry of some kind that caught my eye several months ago. I often pass it thinking I need to get a shot of them! Today was the day.
Spring has arrived there. We are just now pushing into the tail of the winter weather. It was beautifully sunny today and I hope by next week to see buds start showing up around my house.

@anazad511 thanks, Ana! they actually look blacker than this so maybe I exposed them a little too much!

Interesting that they look so much like grapes... love the light on them and the leaves! I'm with Cathy... jealous of your sunshine and colors! Though we did have a little sun today, which was awfully nice after yesterday's black sky and hailstorm and power outages! :)
