October sky on the Proctor Trail in Madera Canyon 10-7-09As T. R. Ryan and I walked along the Proctor Trail looking for birds last Tuesday we happened to look overhead and see this marvelous sight. I love the contrast in colors, the orange fruit glowing against that bright blue sky. Almost makes me wish I were a bird! Yum!

Thanks Troy from Ramblings Around Texas for identifying
this tree as Western Soapberry.

Such a beautiful deep bright blue!
Is that bittersweet? It is certainly lovely!
Lovely view.

Bobbie, it is not bittersweet but I don't know what it is. I tried to do an interent search with no luck. All I can tell you is that is it a tree!
Everyone else, thanks for stopping by!
It's a Soapberry, probably western variety.
Come visit anytime,
Troy

Love the color of the soapberry against the brilliant blue sky.
Oh, yes, the blue is so dense in saturation. I love sprigs against a sky like that. And the shape of each "berry" is nature at its best!
Those are compliments. The colors I mean. Nice shot.
Very pretty! I don't associate fall color with Arizona, so this is interesteing :-)
I can see why the birds would see these! So brilliant!
Wonderful photo of the berries and the sky. do the birds like those berries?
Thanks for sharing your skywatch.
It's a soapberry Kathie - it was labeled - of course I know because I was looking at the ground and you don't know 'cause you got the shot and I didn't! I guess it just means we make a good team. That moment was divine, indeed.
Wonderful, Kathie. Your photo captures the sky and frames the berries, bringing out the best in both.
simply beautifully captured shot...lovely!
Kathie, Ces is my little soul-sister, as are you although you may not realize it.
Arija, I went to Ces' blog to check out the award and read her tribute to you. How very sweet it is. I have visited there before, but not in a long time. I thank you for considering me in such a special way!
Such a blue October sky! My husband is off today after working 7 days a week for 3 weeks, we are trying to think of somewhere to go nearby to photograph our October sky:)
Love the striking color. Great perspective on the shot! Fall is in the air, for sure!!!
