Signs of Autumn in the Hedge

 

Out walking yesterday it was feeling like Autumn and the signs were all around - here some almost ripe blackberries.

 

Beautiful berries in the late afternoon sunshine - Pyrocanthus I think?

 

Under the railway bridge, it was surprising what had found a foothold in tiny cracks and spaces between the bricks.

 

 

These Autumn Crocus were growing in the grass under a hedge, opposite some houses - perhaps from some discarded bulbs..

 

Close up they were finely veined and quite beautiful.
