No berries this year...

After the holly bushes were so severely cut way back. But they have grown lots of spiky leaves. Shot in monochrome mode.

Lovely bw capture. (I too have been in the garden today, giving the lawns a final cut and noticed that several holly bushes had red berries appearing. Not yet enough to see the birds through the winter though).

I think the subject suits monochrome very well, surprised I'm only the second to fav.
