Thanks Doris, I think they are Pyracantha (firethorns)if so the berries are mildly poisonous.

Comment from supergold
a great capture of these deep orange berries; it looks tasty, but they are probably poisonous; excellent sharp focus

Thanks so much, I believe they are mildly poisonous causing stomach ailments but not life threatening.

Very colorful Mary. Like the full frame look, green leaves, sharp focus and exposure to show the textures and details of the berries. Suspect they are not good to eat.
