On my walk today

I walked six miles today just strolling around and here's what I saw:

In a church. Cryptic praise?

Along the canals.

And my favourite time of the day.

Shots of Summer Part 2

 Looking southwards against a sober sky...

 Cobnuts - a tasty snack raw or roasted (if you have any left after gorging yourself).

 Milk Thistle- used as a natural remedy in these parts for hundreds of years to treat liver congestion.

Ripe elderberries- when they ripen it signifies the end of summer. We're in August but nature says summer is over already!

Ripening damsons - the best jam ever is made from these wild tart plums. Not very digestible raw but like the quince they take on a whole new dimension once cooked.

All photos taken on my walk today.
