I always think there is something magical about Autumn with the early morning mists and the dew sparkling like diamonds from the fine silk of the cobwebs

Making our way down the lane, past the hedgerows, I couldn’t help notice how many signs of Autumn were starting to appear.
The berries are already ripening and the fruits and nuts are all swelling fast. Is this the signs of a long harsh Winter I wonder …
the acorns are already filling their cups, 
and the rose hips are ripening,
as are the Hawthorne,
and with the appearance of the new, green Alder cones,
the swelling of the apples, 
and of course the Blackberries which are already providing us with a healthy harvest
