It was very clear from today’s visit to Titchfield Nature Reserve that our summer is nearer its to end than the beginning. Young birds have all moved from fledglings to juveniles many flowers and grasses are going into seed and the dragonfly numbers reducing and those about are looking tatty.

Continued Reflections from my world. 
I’m never happy to see Fall approach, even though it’s my favorite season, but this year with its heat, humidity, incessant rain and violent storms has me counting the days until cooler weather. We had one bad storm already today and another to roll in over night. Here they consider Labor Day weekend the unofficial end of Summer.
