Toyon berries

This toyon bush near The Ponds displays its brilliant berries most of the winter and it's sometimes called the Christmas Berry.  In summer it has white flowers; its leathery leaves are evergreen.

I loved this. To my early morning eayes, it looked grounded and yet suspended in air at the same time! And the foggy background provides a perfect foil for the vividness of the blooms!
