Harvest Festival

Our church is preparing for Harvest Festival and the hops have been picked - a sign that autumn is upon us. The smell is quite soporific and hope the congregation manage to stay awake for the whole service!

Lovely composition and shot Catherine, how unusual to have hops for Harvest Festival! Not for you I guess but never seen it in my part of the world.

Away....or awake? (Feel free to delete this comment after reading!) just tickled me!

It is a lovely image. The textures and tones of the old jug and vase are beautiful 😊

Lovely composition and textures. I was surprised to see some hops in a garden yesterday.

[Catherine]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond yes - well remembered! They have now matured and the hop garden is bare.

@paul10 thank you Paul. There are some very talented and artistic people!

@quietpurplehaze I have some golden hops in my garden but they are purely ornamental.

[Catherine]

@365anne they were a very important crop in Kent - not too many hop gardens left now - mostly apple and pear orchards now.
