THE BERRIES TURN BLACK FOR CHRISTMAS

Christmas Eve.


The sun touches the elder


and the blackthorn is stark against the sky;


the buddleia has lost its senses


and a magpie pauses.

Best of all, the ivy berries have turned black for Christmas. I didn't think they'd make it but a few have managed to turn in time.



All's well with this little bit of the world.

Hope all is well with you too.

Have a very happy Christmas and a happy, hedgeful 2012.
