This is the entry thread for 'Compliments of the season'.

Take a picture that sums up the current season for you. That might be people relaxing on a beach or in the great outdoors generally (or sheltering from an unexpected shower  Wink); or wildlife, plants or insects that are particular to the current season, or a broader landscape or cityscape. Or something I haven't thought of that sums up your own feelings about this time of year.

The rowan trees are heavy with berries now. They say it's a sure sign of a hard winter to come. (and what a beautiful morning today!)

Clear skies and moonlit scenes typify this time of year for me!  This week has been most unseasonal though, this was the only clear night we had.

This time of year allways brings the Charity Fun Day at the local Pub. Here is a friend of mine having wet sponges thrown at him for a £ a go.. I opted to photograph the event..

Sunshine and showers. Not necessarily the best picture I have taken this week, but the one that seems to me to sum up the week best. It was taken yesterday at Mount Ephraim Gardens in Kent. We sat out a rain shower under the shade of some trees and were rewarded with wonderful golden light.
