Too late for a blackberry hunt

Not far from where I live there is a meadow surrounded by many different trees and shrubs. They look very colourful at this time of the year.

This year I failed to be there in time to picksome blackberries when they were at their best. I found very few and they were small and not as sweet as in the previous years. However, I still enjoyed the thrill of looking for them among the prickly brambles on that sunny and warm September afternoon!
