Holly berries

This year Holly berries cluster around the twigs of the Holly trees in a way which suggests the trees more berry than leafs. They've quickly turned red, it wasn't that long ago that I remember them green. You can walk the forest paths year on year and miss so much of what's going on around you. I've never taken much notice of the holly berries before they've shone red amongst their dark green foliage. But this year, maybe due to their massive quantities, I became aware of the berries whilst they were still green and have watched them turn through yellow green to orange and now to the deepest of reds, with what feels like lightning speed. I wonder how many will still be about when it comes time to be making our Yule wreaths.
