...Salmonberry??? (What can I say? I like still-life photos...)

That was my guess at what it was, don't know much about US flora. Looks like I was right though:

I'm a sucker for still life too. I can't claim to have taken any photos I really love with this camera yet. But I've only had it a couple of months and it is my first SLR, so I'm still learning.

My wife has used an SLR for years. She only vaguely knows how to use the 10D though, yet manages to take some wonderful shots with it. Which just goes to show that taking good photos has little to do with technical mastery of the equipement.
