We’ve had freezing cold weather for a week now, and the remaining berries and fruit are frozen into icicles.
Can you still identify them? The leaves will give you a hint.

This is a glorious series. I could only identify the rose hips, but I have to say i’ve never seen snow covered cherries on the tree! It must be a challenge to grow fruit there. The bottom one of leaves is strikingly beautiful. The leaves seem to be dancing.
Thank you so much, Susan! and well, snow covered cherries are very rare here too!
I only guessed one, Ann-Christine. Raspberries. No wonder I have so much trouble growing berries in our climate. They seem to favour cold climates. My husband said that he had the sweetest strawberries he has ever tasted in Sweden. Your photos show the magic, Ann-Christine. It really is a wonderland.
Thank you so much, Tracy! Glad your husband tried our strawberries – they are the best! At least when my grandmother grew them.
Strawberries grown in cooler climates always taste better, AC.
They do
We have a old folk saying… that when the berries are in profusion it is going to be a sever winter. Birds are being provided for. Here in our part of the UK berries are very few and far between. Luckily still plenty of insects for the birds.
I am glad you have a lot of insects, David! In Sweden we have almost the same saying – but here we say it when there is much Rowan berries.
I love your trees even they are frozen stay happy
Thank you for loving trees – we all should love trees!
I’m not very good at identifying trees, I just know they look lovely in your photos even it seems rather too cold for my liking!
Sarah, I know many of you don’t like cold! These berries are red currants, blackberries and cherries. Last ones are Rose hips.
So beautiful, I love it!
Thank you, so do the birds!
😊
Winter has definitely arrived for you … but too cold for me. There’s something about red with a white background that is a joy of winter.
True about red and white, Frank – I agree! Enjoy your warmer country!
Brrr! Rose hips?
I like how they add a splash of colour. 🙂
Me too!
These are so beautiful, Leya! I especially love the top one with the birds on the snowy branches ❤
My morning window!
Is one of the berries rose hips? And another raspberry? Lovely photos Ann Christine.
Rose hops, yes! But then red currants, blackberries and cherries.
Well they are beautifully photographed
Thank you, Anne – not very alive, but still!

Frosty beauty for the birds!
They are grateful!
So beautiful. I can’t identify any of them, though. 😦
Red currants, cherries, blackberries and Rose hips. Not easy during winter to see what they are/were!
Ah, thank you. The only thing I could think of was crab apples but that didn’t seem quite right.
😀
So beautiful. I love winter scenes.
♥ Thank you!
Beautiful berries! Don’t they just liven up a snow scene?
They do!
