Showers have been torrential today. When there is a pause,
it is time to look round with the camera
Hence, our pictures don’t often show rain, just tears on the Eucalyptus
and dripping woods
where up above, the Noble Fir cones look dangerous
But there is lots of it. This is Wales after all.
Rain or shine, there is a meadow to be mown – by one man and his dog
Everything else is slowing down, which can be a good thing – this Lake flower has spent weeks evolving
and, until the arrival of the first Autumn storm, seeds hang poised
Mature apple trees are giving up a reasonable crop
and some cheap bare-root stock put in two or three years ago are doing their bit
The field next to us is normally cut for silage but due to a bumper thistle crop has been left to the sheep and the cattle
In the tunnels the Nasturtiums are trying to take over
and the figs, as always, do their best in their less than ideal situation
(although we did actually eat some last year)
Some other drippy moments from today
