Feels Like Autumn



This morning felt fresh, cool and far from summery. There was a heavy dew before the shower came. Brown patches on the bracken suggests its threat is already on the decline this year. Bilberry leaves have been red and mottled for some weeks.









The bracken above is on Blacka Moor. That below is just off Moss Road at a higher altitude. Bracken is a volatile plant spreading feverishly in the warmest part of the year and retreating in a cowardly way once we get a cool night.
