A Mass of Rowanberries - Hard Winter Expected.

Yes I'm a country girl and we take notice of what's happening in the countryside around us. This year we have an abundance of berries and fruit on the trees which indicates that a hard Winter is expected.

You may think we are just West Country Bumpkins, but we all learn from our elders, Ohh Arr, where's me tractor, Wink!!

[LornaHW]

just shows the difference with the north south difference, ours are bright red and the leaves have turned already! Love the colours against the blue sky!

@stormi40 Thanks Marilyn, not for humans but the birds love them.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@lornahw Thanks Lorna, we have both red and yellow.

[Claire]

I have always believed that about berries and we have lots here too! Hope it is not going to be too harsh. I have tried to shoot these type of berries but nothing as pretty as these

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@claireuk Thanks Claire for those kind words.

[Lin]

These colors are spectacular! I'm hoping for indications of a mild winter here!

[Kathie]

Lovely colour against the blue sky. This should guantee some winter birdie shots...yes?

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@linnypinny @kathiecb Thank you both, I've already got my snow shoes out ready.

[John]

We have seen an unusually large number of berries here, too. So I am thinking a colder winter than usual? Ours are usually very pleasant and mild.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@congaree Thanks John.

[David]

Like the composition Heather, now were did you hide that tractor

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@killeen Thanks David, Tractor is in the barn, where else would it be. WINK.

Funny that something signalling winter could look so exotic, they look like some sort to tropical fruit. Great capture.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@flicka Thanks appreciate your comments.

[Kathie]

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Thanks Kathie, appreciated.
