November frost, the first bite of winter on these colorful leaves of barberry, I think that is the name of this plant, is or not, it sure looks pretty. The crisp air carries with it a stillness that amplifies the vivid reds and yellows of the leaves. As I stood there looking for a right angle to take a photograph, I couldn’t help but marvel at how such a small shrub can capture the essence of the changing seasons, hinting at the chill to come while still clinging to its vibrancy. Each leaf seems to shimmer with the promise of winter, creating a breathtaking contrast that leaves a lasting impression.

Winter beauty indeed! Thanks Ritva.
Thank You 🙂
The colours are quite magical.
Thank You ❤ Jo!
You make me feel lazy or soemthing for not getting out when it is frosty here. You have inspired me Ritva with these and next winter I will try to make more of an effort. These are lovely.
Leanne, this was one morning so I cannot get credit for being active 😀
Lovely compositions and DOF.
My plant app. says it’s Japanese Barberry (Barberis thunbergii). Not that this app. is always right.
Thanks Vicki, I tried to google them too, but many similar looking plants came up…
These are true art pieces. Beautiful!
Thank you Egídio
So pretty, you’ve captured them beautifully
Thank you Alison
Oh these are wonderful, Ritva! I’m a bit cold-averse but I will look forward to snow, just to be able to capture something like this 😀..
