Apple and Blackberry Autumn
Flowers have appeared on my tayberry plant this summer and it is looking good for a nice crop of berries. This is my plants second summer. The fruit appears on canes from the previous year. Last summer one berry, this year enough for tayberries and ice-cream. A tayberry is a hybrid of a blackberry and a raspberry.
Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly
On a trip to Clifden in September I spotted this butterfly flitting around. I had to do a small bit of chasing but he settled long enough for me to get a few shots. For more information on the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly visit the Butterfly Conservation site.
