Looking for Pretty

After swimming practice Monday evening,

some of us were griping about the cold, dreary weather,

myself included. However, I had been downtown 

earlier than usual, and took the opportunity 

to walk around, determined to find something pretty 

to make a nice picture. I found browned 

hydrangeas, blood colored berries, 

and russet brick walls.

I am not a fan of brown, but the colors were 

rich when paired with each other.

Today, I will share the berries,

deep and shiny against the siennas

of the brick and mortar.
