Beautiful pictures. Now @zigs is the Black Bryony the red berries there in the picture?

 

[zigs]

Yep, just to confuse things, the Black Bryony is a member of the Yam family but we've also got a White Bryony which is a member of the Cucumber family.

They both have Red berries

Oh the beautiful changing colors all around. I love this time of year mainly because of the beauty. I hate the cold weather that follows though. I can not wait til winter is over and spring is here.

Now can you eat the berries? They look rather tempting just hanging there..... LOL can you tell I am a berry nut?

A few shots out and about today

Those pictures are gorgeous zigs. I wish I could see things like that everyday. I see lots of beautiful scenery, but it's only when I go on sudden road trips. I don't even have a chance to take good pictures.

Ta

Like the idea of a sudden road trip

 

[Annetteb]

I live road trips. Especially the scenery. There are so many lovely things to see. I don't get to go on many road trips anymore because of work.

I love the poplar in the first picture, Zigs Poplars are my favorite trees! And I adore the cloudy sky. I always go for a walk when I see that it's going to rain

Thought you'd like him

It's a he, a male poplar? Does he have a name? It looks quite funny when a tree like this grows alone

He's called Billy no mates, and he's not very popular with the other Poplars

Was looking up about Poplars, they really are tarts, they'll mate with any other Poplar thats around, even in plantations

 

[claudine]

Poor Billy no mates, I feel very sorry for him, I'm sure he dreams of having company. If I ever travel to England, I'll visit him and I'll plant a small poplar right next to him
