The seasons are changing, the riot of summer flowers gone, the rich harvest of berries and fungi now beginning. And of course, there are dragonflies within reach of the water. Enjoy…
Ivy, the great attractor of bees, though not when it’s wet. And field scabious (with bee)
White lilies on the village pond. And a butterfly clustered buddleia, both beautiful to see
Rowan/Mountain Ash brightens our hedgerows, as does the elder now in berry
Alas, these bryony berries haven’t been allowed to ripen. Not sure what’s happened to them but I rather like the muted colours
So delicate, this inkcap, I nearly stood on it. Below, a green-veined white butterfly settled long enough to focus and click
A male (above) and a female (below) common darter
That’s all for now. Hope you enjoyed the selection











Beautiful pictures Crispina

Ironic. I’ve just opened my windows. Thought the heating was on but it’s only the sun shining through the window. Enjoy while I can

But as the season wears on, that variety will reduce. It’ll be all fungi soon π

Good to see lots of insects, since I haven’t seen many this year.

Loads of pollinators in my garden. The fennel attracts them. And the many buddleia I have
