Some rhododendrons and berries

 I walked up to these rhododendron bushes (they're certainly big, but not quite a tree size) and took these photos before going to Physical Therapy on Tuesday. Glad I did it before, because I not only worked hard, I was reprimanded that I wasn't putting enough effort into exercising at home. And he was right. I do stretches every morning, but haven't done the strengthening ones he's given me. I shall remedy that, because I do want to continue to see him another week (my last is coming soon).






This purple one had just a few flowers remaining, as it has the afternoon sun hitting it...just my guess.

But next to it I saw this bush with rather strange berries on it. I'd love to know what it is!

Sunshine and Berries

A vine caught my eye yesterday.  Blue sky set off these red berries.  But could I figure out how to focus the camera on just the berries?  Well, I have about 30 trashcan shots of the branches behind them with just a red blur that indicates the camera was pointed in the right direction, but refused to focus upon them.  Geese, what a time I had.  But finally this one happened, and I went home!
