Nearby, the late flowers of nettle-leaved bellflower are a much deeper purple-blue than they were in summer.
I think of those images which burned their way into my visual memory over the past couple of days wandering in Gloucestershire: the dark mass that is the ancient tree trunk of the Tortworth chestnut; blood dripping from a wound on a ram's head; the shining silver Severn seen from the Cotswold edge; blue flowers of nettle-leaved bellflower and the red berries of a wayfaring tree.
