My son collected some of the berries from the tree in our yard. The sun was shining through them so beautifully they seemed to glow. I added a pinecone to make a nice fall composition.
Feeling inspired by chickens lately. This one was found while at the farm with my son's first grade class. She was quite cooperative with her poses. :)
