It was whilst collecting the Sloes yesterday I spied this view. Yesterday time was tight and I did not have time to sit out and sketch so the Sloes came home to be drawn. Today I went back to complete this sketch.
Although the hedges are no longer full of Sloes there are still a few to be found in the hedgerows of the lanes around Benacre. It had been a search for Hops but over the past few weeks these have finished flowering and the leaves are perishing.
Now I am sure Sloe berries are good for something!
With the great summer we have had the fungi is taking it’s time to come. So off to the woods in Walberswick for a search in Newdelight Covert. Still not plentiful they took some finding. Good old poisonous Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) with its deep red cap with white flecks were a joy to find but they had obviously been enjoyed by some animals. At this time there of year there are always some Russula to be found, these were growing in a damp patch under Silver Birch Yellow Swamp Russula (Russula claroflava).
Smooth Hawk’s-beard – Crepis capillaris flowers all the way through until November great as flowers to sketch have become a little limited now.
