Midweek Blues: Blue Berries On The Tree

This is a photo of blue berries that are currently on a tree in my yard. I didn't even know I had such a tree until a couple of weeks ago. While walking the property line I glanced up into the branches and noticed the berries. I'm not sure what kind of tree it is. My neighbor pulled in his driveway while I was taking pictures but he didn't know either. It doesn't matter really. At the present time it has colorful leaves, blue berries and it's mine!!

A Bench In The Forest

I found this bench along the path to the overlook for the waterfall that I posted on my photoblog yesterday. (You can see the waterfall here.) I visited the waterfall many times with my family when I was a young girl and hadn't seen it in many years. The sepia tone helps suggest an earlier time and seems fitting for my memories.

I wanted to post the original image as well because I thought it was such a peaceful looking spot with the sunlight coming through the forest behind it and the soft light dappled on the fallen leaves. I might add that since it was only about 50 feet from the precipice of the gorge I could hear the roar of the waterfall enticing me to continue rather than to sit.
Besides Sepia Scenes I'm also posting this for RunE at his Visual Norway blog. He posts a bench shot on Friday. It's all very informal at his place. Just post your photo and leave him a comment.
