Late summer morning walk at Stannah. The sun doesn't appear until late afternoon at this time of year and there's a cool salty breeze, sensing the coming change of season. Last time I was here in April the hedges and trees were coming into blossom, now they are thick with hips and berries.The pretty mauve Sea Lavender (Limonium vulgare), that grows in the salt marshes is beginning to fade. There are plenty of sloes on the blackthorn. Blackthorn branches are covered in lichen Beautiful rosehips - see above, hawthorn berries - see below. . . . Is this a sign of a hard winter?
