V Formation

I think these are gulls, I did not know that they flew in a V formation, geese, ducks, herons etc do but this may be a first for me.

Also, by the by, today I saw a flock of starlings; the beginnings of a murmuration? shows the changing of the season towards winter.

Cabbage

This big cabbage has not been protected from the ravages of the cabbage white butterfly caterpillars.I looks pretty tatty round the edges.
Should pick it a eat it soon.

Weather

What a day full of weather.

We awoke to thick mist which lingered most of the morning.
This was replaced by some rain showers and sunny spells, although around there was thunder, so, there must have been lightening too!



The day ended sunny with a lovely sunset.

This ornamental tree serves as a pretty reminder that autumn is not far off!

Peaches

Sorry to hear that Georgia (US) is suffering from a lack of peaches, due to a hard frost when the blossom was out, similar to our problem with the apples here.
However, our spindly little peach tree has produced a bumper crop.
It is lovely to be able to just pop out and pick a peach, juicy and delicious.
What you might see in the photos are bits of tinsel as we have draped tinsel over the tree to scare off the birds, along with the plastic snakes; these bird scaring methods appear to be working.

When You Do Not Eat

When you do not eat the artichoke and you let it flower, this is what you get.
Pretty splendid!
