31 photos included in this set, featuring many different kinds of autumn berries. Also adding in some other natural landscapes found in nature representing the season.

Red berries are common sight on evergreen shrubs. Conifers, such as Juniper, form a pale blue berry.

Old Hawthorn trees are loaded with small berries this time of year. More berries than leaves.

This mismatched photo was taken because I noticed the ground was all crabgrass. It was over a foot high and the grass was spiking up in all different random directions. Personally I think this looks better than the manicured lawns people waste so many hours of their lives mowing for no functional purpose.

![20191011_142204.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/creativetruth/QMLXfjzz-20191011_142204.jpg)

Hawthorn berries are entirely edible, but the red flesh is the part most easily consumed. They have a variety of medicinal benefits to aid digestion, high blood pressure, and heart problems. The flesh is high in fiber.

A popular recipe using the berries is Hawthorn jam, which is high in antioxidants.

Some unusual leaf details. A leaf within a leaf. Ornamental Pear tree.

Many thorny plants, such as the dry thistles standing tall on the marshy riverbanks.

Glints of gold reflect off the plated armor of this lone maple soldier.

White berries with deep black stems. Snow colored gumballs.

The poisonous red yew berries are a winter classic. You can eat the red flesh, which is mildly sweet and without any notable flavor. The core of the berry is deadly. It's better to look elsewhere for a winter snack. All other parts of the tree, leaves and wood, are also poisonous.

Yew is one of the longest living trees in the world, with some of the oldest ones are estimated to be possibly over 9000 years old! Historically it is recorded in many of the oldest legends recorded originating on the British Isles where it grows in nearly every church graveyard. Shakespeare's Macbeth used the berries of the tree to concoct a poisonous brew. One account claims Pontius Pilate was born near the famed Fortingall Yew and played in its limbs as a child. He was there because his father was visiting to meet with a Pictish King, years before the land was conquered by Rome.

Yew trees are a symbol of death, resurrection, and the afterlife. Old Yew trees will often deteriorate and die, and may eventually form a new trunk from an aerial root. The new trunk will graft into the old trunk, and after many centuries of this cycle repeating itself, the entire trunk can form an open center. People sometimes enjoy using these sacred spaces as a small room to pray, or live in as a temporary shelter.

In the coming week, I'm going to be sharing recent photos of the changing season.

Expect to find plenty of photo collections shot by @creativetruth featuring colorful leaves, trees, flowers, and even winter berries.

My goal in this series is to share the wonderful sights of the season around me with the many people abroad in the wider world who may not be familiar with the beautiful sights in nature where I live.

Follow along with me, and enjoy the evocative sights!

Hi @creativetruth ,I  was thinking about commenting or not, but I can't pass up this part of your post where you say  :
Always consult a doctor before using as a treatment for any ailments, as it may conflict with your body systems, allergies, or prescriptions. I am not a doctor!

I love this, it means that you are a person worried about others, the clarification is totally valid, many people do what others say, regardless of age, weight, medical problems etc, good for you.
Blessings :)

That's funny. I almost left that part out because I thought it was so obvious. I figured it would be better to state it outright, just like most products and informational articles are required by law to do. That last thing I want is to feel responsible for somebody going out and doing something stupid like eating a poisonous berry because of photo I posted and an offhand comment I wrote.

That pear leaf was very unusual! it was my favorite, followed closely by the snow berries and the yew berries. Another really nice collection!
