Beauty Berry

A native plant, photographed in December.

I'm recovering from an evil trifecta of covid, flu and pink eye. The worst part was the pink eye! My eyes were so sensitive to light that it was uncomfortable to read or use the computer. I'm feeling better now and trying to catch up viewing others' photos and editing my own.

I’m so sorry to hear about that Diane. Glad you are finally on the mend. Beautiful shot of this beauty berry. I took one last year and then made jelly out of it.

Oh my goodness, all three? I’m so sorry. I hope you start feeling better real soon.

So sorry to hear Dianne hopefully all over for the year

Nice DoF. I hope that you a truly on the road to recovery. So sorry, you seem to have been walloped.

I'm so sorry to hear you went through that Diane! Praying you continue to heal and feel more and more like your "old self" each day. These berries live up to their name!

[Diane]

@grammyn Thank you. I did not know until recently that you could make jelly from the berries.

@joysabin @olivetreeann Thanks, Joy and Ann. It's been a rough few months, but my family has been great and I'm feeling better every day.

@eudora cleaning those tiny little things was the worst but after that it wasn’t too bad and it tastes good. It has an interesting flavor that I can’t quite describe.

Glad you’re on the mend, that does sound rough. Love the berries, certainly didn’t know you could eat them!

Pink eye is the worst! Glad you’re feeling better and so happy you posted this — beautyberry is one of my favorites!
