“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness …”. The geese
have arrived at the head of Lochindaal.
Oddly for Islay where the first gale rips the woods to pieces, this year,
after a wonderful summer, we have an autumn. I was going to do some household
repairs, but I decided to take the German student I have staying with
me (to learn English) into the woods for some woodland vocabulary.
In 2001 I was in Michigan for the fall and I was impressed by the colours
of the leaves there, so I aimed today to try to get some of the colours
in our woods, some vibrant enough to match those Michigan trees. |
