Though today was actually quite warm and humid, there’s no denying that autumnal feel in the air. The evenings are getting dark earlier; there’s an occasional hint of a heavy dew, if not quite a frost; the birds have already begun their migration south for the winter; and, on the trees and shrubs, the fruits are bright and bursting, the leaves beginning to turn. Happy Autumn to all in the northern hemisphere (and happy Spring to those down under)!

A colour splash

berries, Holly berries, rose hips, Spindle fruits, winter colour, Yew fruit

It’s grey today, with heavy rain, so I felt the need for a splash of colour to brighten the day. The vivid pinks of Spindle, the deep reds of Yew, wild rose hips, and Holly certainly buoyed my spirits – I hope you also find them cheering, whatever your weather.
