We had a wonderful snowfall in Boise a few nights ago. This shot was taken the next morning from my driveway, and then I went to work. :-(
The hawthorn hedge is now between 15 and 20 feet tall and at least 175 feet long. I never thought I'd love a tree covered in thorns, but it is the reason I have everything from bees and bunnies to birds and whitetail deer living in my yard.
In early summer it is covered with these blossoms which create the most delicate perfume for the yard.
In the summer the hedge provides a very protective breeding ground for small animals and birds. Not many predators are willing to brave those thorns.
In the fall, after the leaves have fallen, the trees are covered end to end and top to bottom with bright red berries. The berries are loved by many species of birds.
In winter, birds, deer, and small rodents eat the now dehydrated berries which contain the seeds of the hawthorn. All sorts of birds and animals continue to shelter through the winter.

Missouri Botanical Garden: Crataegus phaenopyrum, commonly called Washington hawthorn, is native to Missouri where it is primarily found in open ground, thickets and wood margins in the Ozark region of the state (Steyermark). It is noted for its attractive flowers and foliage, bright red fruits and fall color. It is a small, low-branching, deciduous tree that typically grows 25-30’ tall with a rounded crown. Thorny stems are clad with shallowly lobed, serrate, glossy dark green leaves (to 2 1/2” long). Leaves turn attractive shades of orange and red in fall. Fragrant, 5-petaled, white flowers in clusters (corymbs) bloom in late spring. Flowers are followed in fall by bright red 1/4” diameter globose fruits (pomes) that persist throughout the winter. The fruit is sometimes called a haw. The word haw also means hedge, the hawthorn thus being a thorny hedge. Washington hawthorn is native from Virginia to Missouri, Arkansas and Alabama.

I just love photographing this tree in my front yard. This time I was able to compose with a pine tree in the background (creating the green bokeh). I wish I had had more time to find a better composition that was able to isolate a set of berries better.

Seems like to get my favorite shots I end up cold, sleepy, hungry or wet. I was all of the above when I was taking these berry shots, but so lost in the moment, that none of it mattered...

This past Monday was rainy - with the sun popping through occasionally. These Washington Hawthorn trees (Crataegus phaenopyrum) caught my eye as we drove through VA Highlands, so I had Randy drop me off right then and there for spontaneous shoot.
