Great banner, Natalie. I have never seen elderberries -- only the blooms as we pass them on the road!

Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.

Thanks,! They turn black when they are ripe, but I couldn't find the picture of them when they are ripe!

Well, it's not the usual type picture of elderberries. I like it!

Very interesting banner! Nice!

My DH had an Aunt that made Elderberry wine one year...It was the most disgusting thing I ever tasted!

Interesting banner, Natalie, the birds will love the berries when they are ripe.

Tara,

We have heard that about the wine! Once in a while though, we'd come across someone who said it was delicious! I doubt it!

Margaret, the birds really LOVE the ripe elderberries!

I don't think it's weird at all. I rather like seeing immature berries. Not a thing wrong with that.
