The first real signs that summer is coming to its end can be found on our Rose bushes….The Rose Hips are staring to swell and put on their own colourful show, just likes baubles on a Christmas tree…….
The sun still shines and temperatures are as high as in mid summer so with luck we have a little longer to enjoy this season before autumn proper appears and brings its own delights.

Very good rose shot, David, and the several obviously aging leaves surely do add to the melancholy of getting ready to let summer slip behind us. But I feel that I’m getting ready for what follows and will embrace the changes.
