Here we are...watching the sunrise and sunset move south over the sea and over the moors. We love actually being able to see the planetary motion from the equinox to solstice and now to the autumnal equinox.
The plump and juicy pasture thistles are popping; the first yarrow are blooming on the moors. Viburnum is starting along the Polpis Road.

The weather pattern as the land and sea warms has been foggy in the morning and evening, and fog banks on the sea when the sun heats up the land. I've had a couple of beautiful hikes, on the Milestone Bog and on the Middle Moors to Pout Ponds and Tapashaw Bog in which wisps of fog sweep over the landscape...while it is sunny.
Found a new footpath around the Donut Pout Pond which is now filled in. It is even mowed!

We watched kingbirds "attacking" Common Ravens which were foraging on the newly mown grass at the Bog.
