Are you sure that's holly?  Looks more like pyracantha <sp?>  The leaves are not holly leaves.  I have a large bush of it at the edge of my yard.

Very pretty shot.

LOve the colors, Marilyn.  Great job.

Like Jane, are you sure it is a Holly bush?  We don't have Holly around here but what I have seen is rough edges with spikes on the edges.  The berries are red similar to what your picture is showing, though.

The name of this bush is not one that I am familiar with but I was wondering if the berries turn color ie yellow and perhaps white  before going to seed?

Marilyn good picture

MArilyn this is a beautiful photo.  I love the colors.  It would be lovely enlarged and framed.  I am sure Ruth could do a wonderful job paper toling it and framing it.

Just wondering , do the birds eat the berries?  Are they edible?  Would they make jam? I don't know this plant....

Beautiful

Judy B ... From what I know the birds do eat the berries but they make them "drunk" and that is not a pleasan sight as they fly into windows (closed) and other obsurd antics.  Actually this plant has white blossoms and then the red berries ... spikes on the stems ... and they are not edible.  Very pretty though.   :)

I used to have a bush something like this but never knew the name of it.
