Time of Ripening

Everywhere I look, I see see fruits and berries ripening. If I wasn’t care-taking my Mom right now, I would love to spend an afternoon gathering as many varieties as I could find to make a large composition. We had a lot of rain this summer, so the berries are particularly plump and abundant this year.  These false solomon’s seal berries always catch my eye because of the interesting splotchy coloration that almost makes them look sprayed or frosted. Zoom in if you can, it’s worth a closer look.
