Anne Marie recently reminded me how much I like autumn. We're not even out of July yet, I know! But still, I was inspired to go out and find some colours, if not autumn colours then just rich, deep, earthy colours like these reds, oranges and yellows. Actually, there are already some harbingers of autumn too, like apples and pears that are ripening now.
Apart from apples and pears there are plums on the way, a few elderberries that I've seen, the figs outside our bedroom window, raspberries still and damsons along the roads. The grapes in the rose garden are probably quite plump already too, must remember to look.
The mullberries are beginning to turn dark and I'm looking forward to having a few, only a few, but plenty of juice running down my fingers because I really can't help it.
Ohh... your photos are beautiful. I have said it before and I say it again: You really make me want to spend a summer in England.

Thanks! Oh yes, you wouldn't regret it. You are most welcome to come visit if you do!
