We made it! This is the final post in my 2-year-long series, photographing a common birdberry tree. (Originally it was going to be 1 year, but 2021 was so dry and hot, the tree couldn't complete a flowering cycle. To show the full process, the project length was doubled.) The entire thing has been documented as it happened, right here on the blockchain. Here are July's photos, followed by all the previous entries.
Early in July, the berries were hard and green:
But by mid-month, the weather had turned hot, and the berries started to ripen:
From green to yellow and then to orange, the clusters all over the tree changed colour.
That's what happened in July. Now we can see the entire 2 year process, going backward in time:

Thank you to everyone who showed interest in this series as it developed. It's a simple concept, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. My appreciation goes out to the tree, which stood still for photographs and maintained a pleasant vibe throughout. I'm glad to have been able to tell its story.

I admire the patience of taking a photo every month to record the progress of the tree and its fruit during the seasons of the year, and in this case, there were two.
The photo that I liked the most is where the flowers show all their splendor; I have never seen them personally, except for the strawberry blossoms.
At the same time, I'm wondering if anyone was able to help you get the pasta you like so much. I hope so because when someone gets what they want so much, the joy is gigantic... it's like achieving a goal in life.
This is so lovely to scroll through. I still love the winter, snowy October especially, shots the best. Cool project.
This is a great book, although "rooted in environmental principles" is not a good description. A chestnut tree was photographed on the same day every year for many years.

What a beauty, I love it. I'm really thinking of doing the same, just need to decide which tree is worth all this attention.
Nice hairy buds! Some new types of photos this round. Very aesthetic. Definitely not smart-phone pictures.
Wow! Love the dedication here. Great results!
Interesting idea, will try to find a plant in my garden and keep an eye on it the next year😀
Good to see the variation of the tree over time.
Nice trees. I like your post.
