Spring Holly

Holly berries

In this photo I took, the background looks like spring, but the holly and berries make you think it's a fall photo. This is our neighbor's gorgeous tree...I never really thought about the fact that there are holly trees?? Excuse my lack of knowledge about this, but I'm not much of a gardner. I always assumed anything "holly" related was a bush, but this is a definite tree and it's about 25 feet tall. It has the gorgeous red berries on it year round. I couldn't resist getting a shot of it during my spring search for images.

  2. In our local woodlands the holly trees/bushes are very tall. I'm not sure if they are a bush or a tree?

  3. So pretty. Add a little snow and this could be a Christmas card. The processing is so nice.

  8. Yes, it's confusing to see Holly now! I love the composition and the lovely blurred background :)
