2nd September - The sun is shining!

Well if this is going to be autumn, bring it on ... the sun is filtering through the canopy of the wood leaving everything dappled green and gold.  There's plenty of activity.  The blackberries have attracted more than just MY interest.  Long fronds of bramble are pushing upward toward the light and seem to invite small creatures to clamber or flutter amongst them - as if they are trying to do the Indian Rope Trick!  Two tiny acrobats are the wood mouse and the long tailed tit!

If you like this picture, by the way, it is available as a bookmark from my website www.helenmstevens.co.uk ...

Other ropes are dangling DOWN, including wonderful swags of ivy... I'll see if I can find some pictures of those for tomorrow!
