De sneeuwbes is een struik, die behoort tot de kamperfoeliefamilie.
De sneeuwbes wordt plaatselijk ook wel klapbes genoemd: soms plukken kinderen de bessen en trappen er vervolgens op, dan is er een lichte explosie te horen. Het binnenste van de bes bestaat uit een sponzige substantie, waarin de kleine holten gevuld zijn met lucht. Door samenpersen ontsnapt de lucht uit het gesloten omhulsel, hetgeen de knal veroorzaakt.

Symphoricarpos, commonly known as the snowberry, [...], is a small genus of about 15 species of deciduous shrubs in the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae. Wikipedia
Porteau Cove
[...].The name of the genus is derived from the Ancient Greek words συμφορεῖν (sumphoreîn), meaning "to bear together", and καρπός (karpós), meaning "fruit". It refers to the closely packed clusters of berries the species produces.[4]
Snowberry is a resilient plant able to withstand a variety of conditions. Snowberry plants are most commonly found in forests, dry or moist openings, rocky hillsides or near riverbanks and streams.[...]
[...]. The fruit is conspicuous, 1–2 cm (0.5–1 in) in diameter, soft, varying from white (e.g. S. albus) to pink (S. microphyllus) to red (S. orbiculatus) and in one species (S. sinensis), blackish purple. When the white berries are broken open, the interior looks like fine, sparkling granular snow. The flesh is spongy and contains two 2–5 mm long, whitish stone seeds.[...]. Wikipedia

Winter's rainshowers let up a bit and soon I was walking in the delightful Gaasperplaspark. Nice in every season.
Lots of Snowberries now, and some adorned with pretty clear waterdoplets.
I've posted photos of our plant before, e.g.: www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/8423872532/in/photolis...

16th October 2021 :
No excuse not to go out this morning, as I had some shopping to do. So as soon as I could I was off. (Just in case I found a reason to stay at home and do my shopping tomorrow morning)!
Also the forecast isn't so good for tomorrow and next week anyway, so getting out into some sunshine was a good enough reason to make a move.
Went down to the little supermarket in town, rather than the one nearer home, there are more photo opportunities and it's a pleasant enough walk. You can people watch too, if you want to.
The Snowberries growing at the local hotel haven't done so well this year, the shrub looks in need of some TLC, but the berries at the top looked wonderful against the wonderful blue sky.

For Friday's flower, I chose a wildflower that in Canada, is found from British Columbia to Ontario. I found this stem in the middle of a meadow. Hummingbirds are their main pollinators, but western snowberry also attracts a host of other pollinators such as butterflies and bees. It produces white berries but they can be poisonous to humans.
Happy Friday!
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all very much appreciated.
This border of plants attracted my attention as the dark sky loomed on a day when real snow might have come but didn’t. It is. Commonly known as a Snowberry bush and is apparently related to honey suckle. Symphoricarpos albus,
I'm starting the week with a pretty wildflower that I spotted in a huge meadow last summer. When mature, it will sport white berries. This is my first sighting of this specimen. Happy Monday and new week!
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated.
