... a berry beautiful tree ...

It's a grey early morning here in the region of Montreal.  The air seems to be laden with moisture, but the temps are not cold enough to turn that moisture to snow.  With global warming and all the crazy fluctuations in weather, it seems we have to keep our fingers crossed for a white Christmas.  I've got my fingers and toes crossed!

The photograph below was taken in late October.  The tree had shed its leaves to reveal its branches heavy with glorious berries.  I'm sure the birds were feasting on them throughout November.  The photo has been processed in RadLab adding two or three of its 'treatments'.

I'm sharing this with the always gracious Lisa's "The Creative Exchange".  Do visit her site to enjoy all the amazing submissions by photographers who link up there every Monday.  She is also featuring a great giveaway this week!

    This is beautiful, Bonnie. I hope the birds enjoy the berries as much as I enjoyed viewing your photograph. xoxo

    'Berry' good indeed.
    Lovely against the stark sky.
    I'm keeping fingers crossed for a non-white Christmas Day :-), so that we can go for a bike ride on the empty main roads while others are indoors eating their Xmas dinner .

    This is gorgeous Bonnie. It very much reminds me of a Polaroid (or other film), with those gorgeous tones. Beautifully done!

    Have a wonderful evening.
