Hi Z, at a first glimpse I'd say it's a "European Spindle (Euonymus europaeus)". Interesting remark in Wikipedia: "European Spindle wood is very hard, and can be cut to a very sharp point; it was used in the past for making spindles for spinning wool."
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments. Camera and other information at the foot of the page. 20150322

Do pomegranates grow there? That's what it sort of looks like to me.
I don't know but when I see red seeds I always think of the quote from the goat lady in Cold Mountain, which sums it up quite well!
They are pretty. I like anything that is red. :)
I don't know what they are either, but it's a lovely colour. They light up the autumn!
Insider: Thank you! You've got it.
RR: Insider has the answer.
Tanya: I don't remember the quote. A quick Google search didn't help either.
Halcyon: You're easy to please!
Lothiane: I like how you put it.
