Winter Fruit

In the depths of an Ottawa winter, which can last for 5 months, we need colour! I love the red fruit of crabapples, bittersweet, mountain ash and any other red fruit that I can find. Of course, a lot of this fruit feeds birds and squirrels when they need it most, so it doesn't always last the winter. But that is OK! It is more important that they get fed.

This gallery is delightful, each shot is unique as is the fruit. I know that the bright color is functional, but it also seems like a blessing from nature. Red is definitely very fine to see on a cold, white day!! BV
