Wow!
The colors are stunning!

They're pretty unassuming,
until you get up close and personal; just dark lumps, sitting in the bushes, that most people don't even notice. The colors change as you move them around (green, blue, purple). My point and shoot didn't really do this one proper justice, it would only show basically one color; never did really capture the green tones.

Even so, I think they came out fairly well.

Thanks
