mellow

crab apples (?) on Rowden lane; we are having the mists but the fruit is not mellow quite just yet.

autumn is coming

the lanes are just beginning to turn brown as autumn starts. Spot apologises for the lack of posts but his photographer has been indisposed recently.

comfrey

It has been a strange year. Comfrey normally flowers in May and June. A lot of plants seem to be flowering again or just lingering on, including magnolia, wisteria, rhododendrons, and clematis

Minions, hurlers and cheesewrings

Rosie (third horse from the front, and Spot's equine third cousin) and friends (from lower Tokenbury) passing by the Cheesewring. The whole area is covered in the ruins of mine workings and evidence of very ancient inhabitation.

flowing past

a soothing image of the Tamar flowing past on a sunny day

sawwort

this could be the rayed version of lesser knapweed, but the bracts on the buds look much more like sawwort, in either case it is very pretty.
