Fall pics

I never realized it, but fall is berry season. All of the bushes here burst out in little round berries that are bright orange, purple, red, and black. Of course I wanted to get pictures of all of them but only managed to get one of a purple berry bush. Next year I'll get one of an orange bush because they were really neat. So here is the purple berry bush (they really are a bright purple, I'm not sure how well my cell phone camera captured them):



Does anybody know what this bush is? It loses all of its leaves then sprouts out in purple berries. I couldn't get a picture of the bush in its entirety because it was in somebody's yard and I was afraid they'd yell at me.

I never got out to take fall pictures this season because it was very cloudy and gloomy outside and the colors didn't look very impressive against a dark gray sky with fog swirling around. It's been nice this past week but the trees are done so I missed it. Maybe next year. I did take a few more pics with my cell phone last week that are only a little blurry. Here's a really colorful bush:



And here's the tree at the end of the driveway that our apartment building is on:



The sun finally came out so I wanted to get a picture of it but it was already past its peak color and had lost its leaves at the top ... I also wanted to get a picture of it without a crane in the picture but that proved to be impossible.

So that sums up my attempt at fall pictures this year.
