Highbush Cranberries

A native shrub to most of Canada

Ripe, yes. But these berries will remain on the shrub throughout the winter. Birds don't usually eat them until late winter/early spring.

I am joining I Heart Macro HERE.

FYI: The November 1 theme for City Daily Photo bloggers is "Heights."

  7. It is kind of the birds to leave these pretty berries alone, to decorate the woods.

  8. So, the birds save these for a delicious snack later on. Wish I had that much control over temptation. :)
    Lovely shot!

  26. So pretty. I usually cut some branches for my milk can arrangement if the birds don't get the berries first. The last two years the berries were gone in December.
