During August....

A quick walk around the natural countryside of Hestercombe,

 not alot of time with the camera this month,

 due to my Mother having to be hospitalised for a week,

 with an operation cancelled 4 times. 

 But risk involved. 

 Now a reprive with her at home,

 awaiting a further date for an operation. 

I've taken her to these gardens on several occasions,

 although her walking is restricted,

 she has enjoyed the tranquility of this special place.

 

Last hints of summer with the butterflies,

although with an extremely fleeting visit last Sunday,

I noticed some caterpillars on some of the flowers.

Caterpillars not my favourite,

 but I do love the end result!

But,

 a shock during August was the signs of Autumn,

 starting to slip in.

One of the vines was already starting to change their colour,

 from green to red.

I truly can find wonderful things associated with each individual season,

but what I do find incomprehensable this year,

 is how quick the year has gone,

Really hope you're starting

 to enjoy the new season of Autumn!
