This is another photo of the gorgeous shrub American Beautyberry, also called French Mulberry. It’s hard to believe that I took this shot only a couple of weeks ago, because the color is really astounding for late autumn in Northern Illinois. Beautiful Mother Nature.

Lovely Photo, colors are great!
Thank you for the visit and the compliment.
Such beautiful colours!
Thanks!
I really like how the focus is in the middle of the picture. I don’t know that I would have thought to do that, I think I would have put the focus at the top or bottom but your way is much more intriguing.
Thanks Ari.
Beautiful photo! It has a dream-like quality to it. I’m looking forward to sharing this month of photos with you!

P.S. Thanks for stopping by today!
Thank YOU for stopping by Darrah.
Hey Kala…I appreciated the comment on my site. I love this photo! Great depth of field and beautiful, rich colors.
You are most welcome and thank you for the visit and lovely comment.
I don’t know how you are doing it, but somehow you are dragging me into the dark world of flower photos. I used to hate flower pics, but now I find myself checking your blog daily.
I think its the composition and depth of field the catches my attention. Its always fresh (even if the flowers aren’t).
Thank you Jay for the wonderful compliment.
I love how you’ve captured it trailing off into the distance with your ever fantastic bokeh. And I would have sworn this was taken on a lovely summers day, not just a few weeks ago. Beautiful as always.
Oh also I’d give you a thumbs up but I can’t get that link to open for me, could just be my computer though. Is there another link please?
Sarah, thanks for stopping by and for letting me know about the link, I’ll check on it.
Another awesome picture from you, go check my blog out, I used one of your pictures for inspiration.
Oh my gosh, I shall stop by!
Really fantastic light and color!! And like you said an amazing shot for autumn. Just lovely.
Thank you Beryl.
Wow ! I mean…excellent colors, so alive, the dof and bokeh, beautifull.It kinda takes me dreaming to a spring morning, it has freshness and at the same time it has something innocent.
I know that i’m no freakin expert or some important point in photography community but i had you added to my selection of photoblogs http://www.cuvintealese.ro/photo-blogs/photo-blogs.html
Thank you!
Amazing! The colors, the DOF, the bokeh, the composition…everything!
Thank you so much!
