autumn fruits & driftwood

wandering out beetween the showersrosehips full of vitamin c
early autumn feasts met our eyeselder berries make delicious wine
bursting into richly coloured ripeness
tucked amongst the dripping hedgerowssloe berries
and down on the evening lit, deserted shore driftwood wind chime we found a beachcombers windchime
of driftwood, twine & seashells
dancing gently in the breeze
tinkling its tune out over the sea

    Enchanting photos, Ruthie. Fill your baskets with seaweed, very good mulch for the garden.

    This is such a lovely strand of photos. I will be picking wild rose hips to make a tincture with. I did this last year and then make a honey syrup as needed with the tincture through out the year. It is divine and full of Vit. C.

    Hi Ruthie!
    I love the way you combine words and images, and I feel a real empathy with you. I love both of your blogs. Thank you for them.

    I love autumn harvests - rosehips and hawthorn and late plums... What are the berries in the second photo though?
