Looking at the ripening apples

I took this picture in Devon, I believe it was in Dartington. It was late August and I was already on the lookout for signs of autumn. One of the surest signs that the season is close is the ripeness of apples. When they are read like here, it means it is time for harvest. Granted, it starts slightly before autumn, but apples being the fruit that represent autumn the mosts, you can easily makes the association. Unfortunately, the apple trees I saw nearby all have green fruits still. But we are still early.
