A Berry Berry Happy New Year

This afternoon a heavy fog rolled in so I sprinted off to my favorite bog for my last photographic foray of 2012. I got a little infatuated with the berries. There were black, red, and white berries in various stages of ripeness and decay. These were not the edible kind by the way. Maybe the deer
like them, dont' know. I had a blast playing with the bright little points of color and mixing them with the background muted colors of the woods.

There was an oriental feel to everything, perhaps it was the fog. It reminded me of Japanese or Chinese brush paintings with a foreground, middle ground, and background.

that next year is a splendid one for all. Happy New Year...best wishes to everyone.
