Sprig of Pearls

Autumn is wrapping up in our area – as far as colorful foliage goes.  These white berries stand out next to the normally green leaves of this plant I found on the edge of a wooded area.

I spent a good deal of time trying to identify this plant.  I wasn’t able to find anything I could be confident to share.  It seems to be a common plant in our area.
