Whilst out for a cycle we were reminded
that it hasn't been the best of summer's!
We noticed that the acorns are fattening fast
the colours are changing
this feels like the bridging moment
between Summer and Autumn.
The sky is often bleached out by cloud cover,
there are strange contrasts to be seen
seed heads and rust
lush greenery damp underfoot, interwoven in complex patterns.
There aren't many sloes but plenty of elder berries ripening, it's hard to tell whether things are coming on early or late! The Woodland Trust has an interesting feature about the weather and it's effect on fruiting this year.
There are still small bright patches of colour to delight the eye.
It hasn't only been the weather that has been unpredictable, due to unforeseen circumstances it wasn't possible to stage an August Photography walk but there will be a return to Cottesbrooke walk. Details to follow soon, get your walking boots and cameras ready, the Sphinx awaits you!
