I had to look the name up after posting a photo and Melinda ~choosing happiness~ S., and Angela M. were kind enough to let me know what they are. Angela M. also posted a very pretty photo of the flowers that come before these beautiful berries. I hope you'll go check it out. I'll be watching for these flowers next spring.
Beautyberry - any of various shrubs of the genus Callicarpa, of southern North America, as C. americana, having clusters of bluish flowers and purple, berrylike fruit.
I found a very large bush yesterday when we went to Myrtle Beach State Park to go to the beach there. It was so beautiful I just had to take a few photos to share with all my Gather friends. I hope you enjoy them.
This is the bush they grow on.
Some macro shots of individual clusters.
You can read more about this beautiful bush here. Aren't they lovely?

I have never seen this plant before
LOL@Marianne's stuff.
Maybe I'll plant some.
American beautyberry is an outstanding deciduous shrub that grows 6-8 ft (1.8-2.4 m) tall with a loose, open form and outward pointing branches. This shrub makes a coarse appearance large toothed green to yellow-green leaves 6-8 in (15-20 cm) long and pubescent beneath.
They are really beautiful and this one was really full but not too high, maybe 4'. I was shaded somewhat in the back by trees and the front was open to the sun.

I love the last picture with the little bit of green on the berry!!!
I also want to thank you for posting to Goldfish Post All.
But I’m so afraid that Monday is just around the bend
So I’ll just enjoy my family until the day is through
