This is 4 of 4 posts of photographs that I took at the Audubon Larsen Wildlife Sanctuary in Fairfield, CT this past week.

The older I get, the less I like Winter, however, each season in New England does have its unique beauty. And it was a nice surprise to see the red berries on this Holly, with less than two weeks until Christmas.
