Misty Morning




Autumn is my favorite season ( though I pretty much like the other ones too...) anyway the 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' is always wonderful.


Here a friend's garden in Wilshire very early in the morning.....


with the dew very heavy on the grass...


where the apples lie untended.
We should pick them up and make
apple sauce and apple pie.


This tree is so old that lichen covers the branches


and this apple is gleaming with wetness.


Saddle stones


and the Hobbit house (which is listing alarmingly) next to the conker tree.



And Michaelmas daisies


and the border run amock




while Ms.Spider has been busy and busy.

You can tell I miss the English countryside!

  2. What a lovely early morning stroll in this lovely English garden.
    I wonder if that apple is as sweet as it looks! Adore the lichen.

  8. I miss the English countryside and I have never lived there, only visited.
    Fall in Arizona is beautiful after the long hot summer. And I do love living here but I wish for the lovely garden and misty morning you have showed.

    cheers, parsnip

  10. It must be so nice to be back "home." To feel the grassy land with your feet and to breathe the softness of moist air. How well you photos tell the same story as Keats' poem.

    To bend with apples the moss'd cottage trees.

  12. Elizabeth, the shades of green in your photos only begin to describe how much I am envying you this time in such a lovely setting.

  13. Hello Elizabeth:
    Such atmospheric images as these make us too very wistful for the English countryside especially at this wonderful, slightly melancholic time of year. And, as it happens, Wiltshire is a county rich in association for us.

  14. Gorgeous sequence of photos. Dreamlike quality yet so real, so immediate, and so inviting! Glad you're having such a wonderful visit.

  15. Love those cones of trees in first shot - that last shot of spider web almost doesn't look real, as if it was crocheted "by hand".
