During the winter months many shrubs and trees have winter berries, providing a splash of color to an otherwise drab landscape. Winter berries also provide fruits that are visible food source for wildlife.
Bundle up for a winter hike and then paint, draw, or just observe any animals in the area feeding on these berries.
