Holly

The yellow leaves on this holly tree looked striking against the dark green leaves and red berries. On closer inspection the yellow leaves were actually diseased and dying. Also I was a bit surprised to see berries this time of year.
Wow! Gorgeous splash of colours. Isn't this supposed to be like this at Christmas. It does not grow where i live, so i only know about it from images.

the yellow provides a nice contrast to the healthy leaves and berries! A fabulous choice of composition Cazzi!

i love holly berries and the plant itself. where i used to live there was a park that has a big holly bush and it has berries all the time. i like the yellow leaf, it makes the photo rather attractive. aces!

Yes, a very unusual combination. Great mix of bold colours.

Lovely contrast of colours.

Colors are quite striking. I hope it's just a few leaves dying back from maybe too much water. Aren't you folks having a lot of rain?

Such a shame it isn't well but the colours are great!

@randystreat It has rained heavily for weeks but now the sun has returned and it's quite hot some days. Each yellow leaf had a big brown spot on it. You can see it at the bottom right of the leaf in the photo. I don't know if it is caused by an insect or not but I'm sure it was to blame for killing it.

@monikozi Holly is around all year but features more at Christmas in decorations etc. When berries appear early (but not this early) we normally expect a bad winter. As a child I was told this was so the birds had plenty of food to get them through but I'm not sure thats true lol!
