August with its ‘westlin winds’

Thank you to Rosemary Hopkins for the wonderful images.

Regrowth – Viva Palestina
Enchanter’s Nightshade – swathes in the woodland
Rosebay Willowherb

Now westlin winds and slaught’ring guns
Bring Autumn’s pleasant weather;
The moorcock springs on whirring wings
Amang the blooming heather:
Now waving grain, wide o’er the plain,
Delights the weary farmer;
And the moon shines bright, as I rove by night,
To muse upon my charmer. – Robert Burns
