I really miss having the fruiting plants to take the gray edge off winter here.

With the obliterating 2007 Easter freeze back in April, the usual suspects are barren this winter. Malus, Ilex, and Viburnum are typically heavily laden with groups and clusters, but when that vicious cold snap wiped the flower palette clean there were no opportunities for decent berry production this year.

The cardinals, blue jays, and mockingbirds here would like to enjoy your images, however vicariously.

Here's what 'Asian Beauty' viburnum looked like last year, about now.
