Foody Friday #6

SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness!
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run; - John Keats

There are many signs that autumn is just around the corner and is waiting to sneak up on us sometime in the very near future. This is just one of them. The cotoneaster is covered in ripening berries preparing to feed the birds through the Winter.
