A view back to the summer. This purple loosestrife was flowering beside the largest pool at the Pendeford Mill LNR on its annual open day at the end of July.

This is a medieval stone cross a long way outside the village on a road which just leads past a few isolated houses before circling back to the village. Noone really knows why it’s there. It looks more like a Cornish roadside cross than anything else.

These blackberries were showing the colours of every stage in the ripening process: from greens, through reds to the rich blue-black.

This plant was growing by a roadside near Lower Penn.

These haws looked like they were already completely ripe – pictured a week ago.

This spider’s web was very obvious when the sun caught it against a shadowed background.

This one was less noticeable. It stretched across a rabbit hole, presumably currently unoccupied. It was in a deep shadow, but made more visible because it had caught some sand which had fallen on it.
