A Big surprise to me

Hollies are evergreen trees or shrubs which have shiny leaves with sharp points and red berries in winter.

It was a big surprise to me that I came across them as a natural fence in front of a house. This “fence” looked like a fortified “wall” of a castle. One never knew what was behind the “wall”.











The berries of these hollies were not fully ripe. Some still remained green and some appeared orange, but not yet red. Very often in the past, I saw these lovely leaves and berries on Christmas cards. It is the very first time I witnessed such real shiny and sharp-to-touch leaves in my life! Interesting!
