Fruits Of Autumn/ Fruits Of Fall
Well, it is that time of year when the leaves on some of the trees change colour and fall to the ground, when berries, fruit and nuts appear on trees and plants. Nuts and berries are the fruit of trees and plants just the same as apples are on an apple tree. Below are some of the tree and plant illustrations from my book, ‘A Posy Of Wild Flowers’. These were done by my sister, Angela Corkery Bickley. (The pictures have been turned into cards too.)
HAZEL
Notice the hazel nuts on the hazel tree
ROWAN / MOUNTAIN ASH
Notice the red berries on the Rowan tree/ also known as Mountain Ash
ROSE-HIPS OF ROSE RUGOSA
Notice the big red rose-hips
IVY
Notice the Ivy berries which eventually turn from green to black
HORSE-CHESTNUT
Notice the big shiny conkers/chestnuts in their prickly cases.
HOLLY
Notice the clusters of red berries
SPINDLE TREE
Notice how the pink berries open to show orange seeds inside
SWEET CHESTNUT
Notice the difference between the sweet chestnuts that you can eat and the conkers from the horse-chestnut tree, which you cannot eat.
HAWTHORN
Notice the red berries on the hawthorn trees/ bushes that grow along country roads
Eileen Moynihan was born in Essex England, and grew up on the Isle of Wight from the age of three. At the age of 22 she moved permanently to Ireland, where she lived in West Cork, and more recently on the border of Counties Roscommon and Longford. For most of that time she was teaching children with Special Needs, and raising her three children with her husband. After taking early retirement, Eileen loves to write books for children.
After discovering Amazon's Createspace and Kindle Direct Publishing, she decided to start publishing her own books. Then she created her own brand for her books, and so Childhood Books was born.
Eileen also enjoys writing poetry and short stories and is an active member of Longford Writers Group. She recently joined other Irish Indie Authors and became part of #IrishIndependentAuthorsCollective
