I didn’t set out today to capture a Hawthorn, I was on a very different kind of mission, I was getting myself some new pets. I will show you them later.
Seeing the tree like this almost bereft of leaves and so heavy with fruit I just had to photograph it. This post might be a bit red.
It is quite a lot of photographs but then, I think that I may need these images in the future. I hope that you liked them. 🙂

Thanks Dan 🙂 I know that once I have put them on line I can find them again, even if my external hard drive disappears in the chaos of divorce and I lose a thousand gigs of pictures 🙂

You can never have too many photographs especially when they are photos of hawthorn berries.

Thanks Clare 🙂 At the same time that I saw these I also found Spindle berries and I took pictures but the weather is miserable. I am holding back on them, hoping for some clearer sky. I only found one Spindle in the spring and I lost that when the hedgerow grew but now with fruit on them I am finding them again 🙂

Yes, I lose spindle in the summer; it does tend to get over-whelmed. I am always excited when I find spindle berries – I love the pink and orange together. Only nature could put those two colours together and make it beautiful.

The fourth from last (single berry on branch) is my favorite. Quite a balancing act given the slant of the branch and the diameter of the berry relative to that of the branch. Good example of potential energy.

Lovely! I may need them “later”, too; when the world is covered in snow and ice and I am yearning for something colorful, I may pull these back up!

Lovely. Do the fruits persist all winter? Does the wildlife eat them?

Thanks Eliza 🙂 Birds love them but there are so many that they persist for quite a time. In fact there are always a few left when the buds are growing out in the spring 🙂

Sounds like a it could be good news or bad news to gardeners. But as long as the birds love it, that is enough for me!
