With leaves down, berries have become much more noticeable ornamentation. The sumac berries stand out, red, atop their naked shrubs. The choke berries crown the branches of the shrubs in large clusters. Today I was particularly struck by the crab apples adorning trees... they come in deep red, yellow/green, and some, like the one I enlarged and actually colored, are yellow-orange with red tinges. The apples are in all states of decay. Some are still plump and round, while others are shriveled like raisins, and many are in between. (Note: after this sketching experience, I will not be drawing raisins any time soon.)
