Friday Finds: Red Pepper Berries

October 17, 2014 by Barb 22 Comments

Friday Finds already? I can’t believe how time flies!

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, we received not one, but two beautiful bouquets … love … and in one of them, I spied what I thought looked like red pepper berries.

After picking one, and first crushing, then tasting it, my suspicions were confirmed—spicy, peppery, aromatic!

Happily, I’m still alive today, so I guess it wasn’t a poisonous variety.Friday Finds: Red Pepperberries

I thought they looked pretty nice paired up with my red pears …

So this will wrap up my week-long obsession with red pears, that is unless they end up in a beautiful pear tart that I have to show you!

All images were processed in LR with the kk_warmandslight preset.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

    Those berries are beautiful! I love all the texture in the wood. I was confused at first with your Thanksgiving comment, I forgot Thanksgiving was a different day for you. :)

    All of these are wonderful, Barb, but the second to last one here?
    Simply perfection. Looks like something from a magazine.

    Oh Barb! your pictures are gorgeous, I love them all, really, with a preference for the third one… your pears look so fresh and healthy, and this bunch of berries… so lovely in the blue bottle! and all the wooden textures under, behind, all this rustic atmosphere… really really wonderful!

    You are braver than me – no tasting. They do make for beautiful pictures, as do the red pears.

    Barb, I agree with Kim. I think these are some of your very best photographs. I like the depth of composition – especially the image with the red pears in front and the bottle with pepper berries in the background. The table and worn wooden door as the backdrop is perfect. I am on the lookout for a door like this – think I’ll prop it on my front porch and just leave it there ready to use anytime. Thanks for the inspiration!
