Changing Seasons

The fields of corn are cut with haybales waiting to be stored. . . .

Changes occurring,

Acorns gathering,

 leaf colour decomposing,

 from lush greens to deepening copper browns. . . .

 Beautiful flowers on the Bramble,

 the Blackberry fruits ripening, delicious. . . .

Something to definitley catch the eye,

 a stunning toadstool of brilliant red,

the red cap speckled with white flecks.

Believe it's called Fly Agaric,

so large in size but nestled in the long grass. . . .

A pair of Ladybirds hanging onto the flower of compact rush. . . .

With the sun shining,

an array of butterflies were much in evidence. . .

The Comma shares a flowerhead of Buddleia with a Swallow Tail. . .

 

The Speckled Brown butterfly also emerging to enjoy the remainder of the day



Such lovely visions to savour on this countryside walk,

A warm day with brilliant sunshine,

providing outstanding views of our wonderful countryside

A Changing Season

Now, it's become more noticable that there's a slight chill in the air at night, & with the morning, comes the dew on the grass. . . . .

Blackberries are now forming & leaf colour is starting to turn into warmer shades. . . .

Apple trees are now laden . . . .

The Hypericum,

that bears such a lovely flower, has an abundance of berries which is turning from a deep shade of red to black. . . .

My Mothers vegetable garden is now coming into its own, with Runner Beans, Carrots, Beetroot.

Potatoes are now dug up & stored & the onions, red & white are hung to keep dry.

Leeks are planted & cabbages are still growing.

Unfortunately, the tomatoes are not doing so well this year & the cucumber plant only gave one poor specimen which wasn't looking that favourable.
