Mistletoe

"Who knew there was mistletoe growing close to home? Jim McCloskey, that's who. Jim spotted this growth of mistletoe north of Garden Road near the Maurice River. Mistletoe grows in clusters attached to the branches of several different species of trees. The mistletoe shown above is about 50 to 60 feet above the ground."

 

That's some holly out of focus in the foreground. The mistletoe is 50 yards or so from the camera. I focused manually, because there was too much detail in the foreground.
