Yesterday, my wife and I went for a walk through Surea Dorst. We thought we were simply going mushroom hunting—and we did find some—but somehow it turned into one of those walks where everything seems to fall into place.
Although, strangely, we didn't have the best feeling when we first entered the forest.
Then I noticed this little branch of common honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum), hanging quietly against the dark forest background.
The bright red berries stood out beautifully against the green leaves and deep shadows of the forest. These berries are an important food source for wildlife, although they are not suitable for us to eat.
I photographed them with my Canon 5D and Sigma 100–400mm, using the long lens to isolate the branch and let the darker surroundings become a natural backdrop.
Sometimes you go looking for mushrooms and find something else entirely.
