Back to a bit of autumn colour on the blog today. It won't last forever so I'm making the most of it while it lasts. This week feels like it is lasting a lifetime. For some reason it's dragging it's feet and I'm not feeling it as much as I expected.
Horse chestnut leaves remind me of kippers when they turn; that shape of the leaf and the fading colours. Those kipper smokehouses with the fishes all hanging up on hooks.
Cute white mushrooms
Tiny pops of blue still showing up thanks to speedwell.
I loved how the leaves faded out from green to yellow on the tops of the branches.
Little mushroom popping up.
These jelly like fungi ought to be easy to identify yet my book doesn't help at all.
The window for gathering sloes is vast, it must be one of the longest seasons for foraging.
There's so much to see and do outside at the moment, so I'll share all the recent photographs with in in instalments. If you plan an outing with careful consideration to the forecast it's still pleasant to take a steady walk.
The berries are out in force and hips. There are still a few little wildflowers in bloom.
A den! Or set! My imagination has conjured up a little family of badgers or foxes who are living down there. I hope so. In reality it could well be more rabbits.
Acorns galore and some unexected insects. I'm unsure of this big chap below, a hornet maybe?
Leaves are on the turn.
A swarm of insects writhing in the sunshine. They certainly had a zest for life about them.
