Tomatoes


No, they aren't tomatoes, but they do bear a resemblance of sorts. I recently learned from @burgo that this is pyracantha.
I didn't take time to plan a photo today and then got desperate. Not good.
Snapped this in the parking lot of a movie theater while waiting for a friend to show up.
What did we see, you asked? Lincoln. Powerful movie.
These can look quite stunning when seen en masse, covered in their striking berries. They are commonly called Firethorn here, and are a recognised weed, although plenty of people still grow them. They make a great windbreak. Very nice shot of these.

You had me believing it for a moment! Great shot and that late afternoon light accents them very well!

Neat berries! I've heard Lincoln was fantastic - I can't wait to see it!

Great colours and they really contrast nicely with the green foliage. Well seen

Beautiful color and detail. Hard to believe that some think this is a weed.

I think anything can be a 'weed' if you don't want it in your yard, but can't eradicate it.
Some weeds are much prettier than others. :-)

Great shot, the birds love these berries in the winter!
