Here’s another reader submission for our May assignment on backlighting!
Gail Bidgood, of NL, sent me this photo of what looks like a pomes on a Pyracantha tree (according to my ever-faithful Google search!) 
Please correct me if I’m wrong!
ETA: Gail just left me a comment – these are dogberries on a dogberry tree (also known as rowans)!
Taken with Nikon D200 at f/7.1, 1/80 sec., ISO 200
Look at the frost! Hopefully the sunny weather has headed your way, Gail!

Cheers,
Sue has been behind a camera for more than 25 years, working professionally as a photographer for the last ten years. While she began the hobby of scrapbooking in 2000, as a complement to her photographer career, it soon grew into a rival passion! Sue loves to enlarge one of her favourite photos and make it the focal point of her page, using her supplies to bring the focus onto her photography. She has, in recent years, turned more to scrapbooking "moments" rather than "events", choosing to leave her children more insight into her point of view of their lives.
Hi Sue: Sorry, Google is wrong this time – but good try. They are actually dogberries on a dogberry tree. My oversight though. They are so common place here that I didn’t even give any thought to say what they are. The weather is warming up — but just a little. Still lots of frost in the early morning. We would be so happy if you would send some 20 degree temperatures this way. Cheers. Gail
