Edith Lake Winterberry

Around Edith Lake yesterday, the water levels are very low, last nights 7mm of rain will help it a bit.  Cooler today with the wind it is very comfortable.  Along the shores of Edith are shrubs with red berries that look like they have been stuck on the stems, these are Winterberry (Ilex verticillata). The red berry like drupes  remain on the shrub into the winter. It is a member of the Holly family but is deciduous.
