The sun came out after a wet morning and made jewels of the berries of this European buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica).

Amanda .. how are the chickens doing ? .. I try to capture that glistening drop thing on my trees/shrubs too and it is very difficult, but that was a great picture ! .. I don't know what that other plant is .. but it certainly looks interesting ! : )
