Pokeberries by olivetreeann

Pokeberries

Finally got a shot of Pokeberries that I'm happy with! My "Little Canon" never seemed to know where to focus. But the new one has no problem!
Such interesting looking berries. Are they edible, Ann?

I often have trouble trying to get a focus when I'm shooting berries. This is a wonderful capture of berries.

Pokeberry! One of these showed up in our garden this year and we didn't know what it is. Nice pic!

Great shot, Ann! I love your new camera. I may be needing a forced upgrade. Will see what Geek Squad says. But if that's the case, it will be a long time before I am able to get shots like I have been with the Canon.

Super closeup.

Great job! This weed in all it's stages just fascinates me. Gorgeous details like that circle of spiky things at the bottom of the berry

Oh my! I am overwhelmed by everyone's comments! My thanks to each one of you. Of course to save time I must resort to this mass thank you but please know- each one of your comments is sooooo appreciated! How exciting to come home from seeing the grandchildren and find this response!

Thank you Pyrrhyula, Alia, Vicki, Leana, Lisa, Daisy and Margaret for the favs!

@salza @ceilidh @anazad511 @digitalrn No, Pokeberries are not edible for human consumption, but the birds seem to have no problem with them. However, they do make a very nice natural dye.

@mamazuzi Some consider them to be a weed (weeds are just wildflowers that grow where we don't want them). The bushes can grow quite massive and take over the garden so if you decide to keep it, you may want to trim it back every season or two. They will attract the birds if you enjoy watching them.

@prttblues I'm not sure what you mean by forced upgrade- computer or camera? If computer- your camera is doing fine! Remember- mine is just the next step after yours model-wise. After I spoke the other night at the photo club, a member informed me that mine model is about to become "out dated" as Canon will be producing one now with a 65x zoom. She said it's going to be in the $500 range. So, you might actually be able to find this camera for less than what I paid for it in a short time. If camera- I'm not sure why you are being forced to upgrade your camera. Are you having trouble with it? I hope not!!
