Colors of the fall IV
These bear a striking resemblance to the blueberries I know from the US, but what are they? The serrated leaves belong to the plant.

Who and why
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

Camera information
My current camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014). Main lens: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Zoom/macro: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8. Until mid-2014 I had an Olympus PEN-EP2 (2010). Up until June 2010 I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 (2006). Occasionally there may appear photos taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 950 that I've had since 2000 or a used Nikon Coolpix 990 I acquired in 2009.

I don't know their real name but they would pass as blue berries to me.
Don't know if they're okay to eat, but they sure look good to me. Beautiful shade of blue.
Greetings from Juneau (Alaska) Daily Photo!
Hi Z,
They look like an Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium).
Your fall color series is spectacular. Great work!:)
They look exactly like blueberries to me. Beautiful photo!
He puzzling round
If the leaves are the leaves to the berries - these aren't blue berries !!
Blue berries have a "fly" on its end.
These berries haven't!
It's Mahonia:

I'd say they're "blackthorn" or "Schlehe" in german (Schwarzdorn, Prunus Spinosa).
The leaves and flowers are slightly poisonous, but the berries can be used for chutney and marmalade.
Yumm!
z
Maybe
In French they are "prunelles"
that are the fruits of the"prunellier".
They have a bitter,acrid taste.
They are used to do the"eau-de_vie","liqueur de prunelle"
Hi insider
The prunus spinosa has no needles on the leaves.
Prunelles are plums !!
The mahonia is a plant which grows along the ground.
Gardeners plant it against weed.

I agree with Gywn of Alaska, and with Wellingtonia. The mahonia is native to parts of Asia - from where it probably came to Europe, though that's just speculation on my part - and parts of the Americas.
Anonymous: The berries may look large in the photo, but in reality they're less than 1 cm in diameter! I've written about plum-type fruits before on this blog. You can read them via this link:
Zwetschge
Thanks to Wellingtonia and Z:
I just was wrong.
Z, I remember your post about the plum-types fruits. I thougth that
was the same. Sorry.
(by the way, "prunelles"are little in diameter too)
Hi anonymous
In deed.
As you sad.
wellingtoniy
