Blackberries -
choose between wizened
or unripe.
Our meagre harvest today.
However yesterday,
out on the Ashdown Forest
the Ladybird book came to life.
Fly-agaric toadstools with their scarlet umbrellas,
A colony of fungi with shiny yellow tufts
called sulphur tuft.
And as a bonus:
an iron spring,
a teepee in a clearing,
an old orchard,
and a fine vine.
What wonderful photos of the colour and treasures that autumn brings, it is such a wonderful time of the year. I enjoyed being out with you and your camera.
ReplyDeletethe light in the grapes photo is beautiful ...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteThe most amazing picture of grapes I have ever seen. You can practically feel the life-force!
ReplyDeleteI love that old apple tree . I wonder what kind of apple it is .
ReplyDeleteWhat to look for in Spring, summer, autumn and Winter - we had all 4 of those Ladybird books. (And many more.) Thanks for the memory. They do possess an innocent charm.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures - your autumn is more picturesque than ours! Mud and grey skies are playing a big part at present.
