I'm an “island girl” born and living in the Caribbean. I love to travel, garden, love art and music and of course the beach. I also enjoy cooking, especially with my own grown herbs and farmers market produce. My job in international development takes me to different countries of the world and that’s what I consider the best thing about my career: getting to meet and become friends with so many wonderful people and getting to experience different countries and cultures. My blogs are Tropical Travels http://tropicalscenes.blogspot.com/ and A Caribbean Garden http://caribbeangarden.blogspot.com/

What beautiful reds. The berries are just beautiful and an added bonus.
I think I recognize Pyracantha berries. Is the tree a Japanese Maple? So beautiful.
Thanks, HHG.
Noelle: Since Aoth and I are both from the tropics we are only guessing that they are Japanese maples!
