I suppose a lot of folk are writing their "Summer's Over" blog posts now, starting to photograph the trees as their leaves go gold and get ready for the first autumn storms to blow them from the boughs.
Me, I'm not one who subscribes to the overly florid style of nature writing that I see from some folk; I favour a more direct approach that doesn't have me reaching for the thesaurus to look up synonyms for "Beautiful" and "Majestic" as I type away.
At the moment I'm preferring to keep looking for what persists; what flashes of colour remain as the sun sinks lower in the sky and the equinox approaches.
Today I was rewarded by our verbena patch at work attracting another couple of visitors; a rather tired looking bee of some kind, and a vivid small tortoiseshell that was doing that quivering wing thing that this species seems to do to keep itself warm - a lepidopteral shiver perhaps.
It was confiding as long as I stayed very still, and even gave a good look at its happy little face as it tried to warm up.
And with that, I can put the thesaurus down LOL.
