The scent of aniseed from wild fennel fills the air as you brush past.
Summer flowers still bloom everywhere, like hedge woundwort,
and golden melilot.
Common blue butterflies are enjoying summer's last fling.
Berries, berries everywhere! I think this is the Common Whitebeam, Sorbus Aria, showing off.
Meanwhile, the herons are catching plenty of fish!
And beautiful seed heads are appearing in huge numbers, including some of my favourites, Traveler's Joy, hemlock and and common hogweed. They have such an amazing structure.

And even a snail on the hemlock - lovely!
Love the red berries and your sketch.
I signed up to get your posts in my email and I'm enjoying them and this new direction so very much. I just had to hop over and leave a comment.
Hugs!
