Hedge of red berries
These are a kind of cotoneaster, pronounced “co-tone-ee-AST-er,” believe it or not. I mispronounced it awfully when I first saw the word. There are many kinds, from ground covers to big shrubs, and trees for all I know. Birds and squirrels love the winter berries, and they are so photogenic! The berries are about a quarter of an inch, or less than 1 cm.

Bright shiny and beautiful Sara. Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro… wishing you a very happy New Year:-)
What a vibrant, glowing red. Like Nature’s Chrissy ornaments.
They look almost like that have been varnished. Beautiful shot

They are very photogenic! I’m afraid I’d never have pronounced it correctly if you hadn’t given us the key.
