Autumn Rose

 

My Rose Bush gives a wonderful display in June. By pruning it afterwards, I get a second crop of blooms in early September. This close-up was taken in the evening, no filters, no photoshop, just pre-sunset rays.

Sometimes you see something that demands capturing, this was one of those times. A strictly amateur phone camera shot, but I like it.

Harvest Home

 Nothing says late summer more than a field of hay bales. Nowadays the bales are produced by machine; either cuboid or circular. It's a sight I associate with my home county of Suffolk- I always visit family during the summer months from my my home in Northamptonshire. But there are still fields of crops a mile or two from my home. These pictures were taken on the B645 heading towards Higham Ferrars. 

I am very grateful to the landowner who was out walking her dogs when I turned up and kindly allowed me to snap away:
