American Beautyberry

I have been trying to get a good picture of these purple berry bushes for weeks.  They almost glow with their purple color.  The camera just won't pick up the same color as my eye.  This picture is OK, but still doesn't do justice to the vibrant color.  Their common name is American Beautyberry, and indeed they are! Here's a link to information.
