Maybe the previous two aren't arty enough to garner any comments.  Here's a photo of Callicarpa dictotoma 'Issai' catching the sun.

Mark,

A lovely plant, well caught in the ray of sunshine. Here, we grow Callicarpa bodinieri and treasure the unusual colour of the berries, that nice purple I see on your plant. I don't think the foliage on C. bodinieri is as nice though.

Your Callicarpa is a stunner, much nicer than my C. bodinieri. Nice image too.

so many days of fog and frost this winter, i have never seen anything like it!
makes for a very beautiful winter;
also, we had an unusually warm late august and september, so when it suddenly turned very cold in early october, many trees were left with leaves undropped--most fell later, but many remain, as on this sapling aspen..

I love the play on light in your images, Cliff & Cohan, especially light around the moss edge and the aspen leaves frost  :)

thanks, robin--light is crucial to me, i have a hard time convincing myself to take out the camera on evenly overcast days..
