LATE AUGUST HEDGEROW and EXISTENTIAL FRUIT

The hedgerow on the road beside our house is beginning to express itself in its existential fruit. Photographs taken this evening. The bramble and the red haws of the hawthorn or whitethorn bush and the deep violet-black of the sloes of the tangled blackthorn.
