[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I had a chance to visit Ireland twice within the last year. One it was last fall and the other one - this summer. During the first trip I had a great chance to visit The Burrens - one of the strangest landscape's I've seen in Europe, shown well by Signal-Womb here.

In late September all the flowers die. However this very stony place doesn't lose colours. If you look under your feet you will see thousands of tiny dwarf blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) with blue fruits wonderfully contrasting with the evergreen moss carpet.
A very different look of the fall, indeed...

HI Michal, this is a very interesting fruit, and I love the colours and the raindrops. They have a nice texture about them. Can you eat them? Good posting, thank you.

Hi Michal!
I don't have enough time to write a decent comment ;) but the big smiley is, no doubt, well deserved here :)

//Berries looks superb and whole has very good quality//

Very rainy or wet picture :-) I love colour of these berries and waterdrops on surface. Good composition and green BG. Different from photos from Signal-Womb but I think it also has got some kind of Irish mood.

The simplicity of the shot is what makes it great. The colours are really vivid and the focus sharp. Good capture.

There is funny foamy stuph left of the grapes?

Hello Michal!

Thanks for sharing.
