I have been checking on this bittersweet for the last few weeks.  It has had yellow seed pods for the last month, but I was waiting for them to pop open to show all these red berries.  I like this picture best of all that I took, but I'm not sure it gives you the real picture.  

 

Truly, bittersweet is an aggressive vine that takes over much of what it touches.  It climbs up the trees and drapes itself over everything in its path.  It is everywhere.  That part we don't love, but these red berries we do love.  When the yellow shells crack open, they reveal red berries, and it is beautiful, and so very Autumn.

 

Look around, look up.  It is probably all around you, and in early November it is yellow and red and beautiful.  

 

 

HAPPY NOVEMBER!!!
