These plantains, growing in the shelter of the railway approach to the bridge over the Serpentine River, seem to think it's still mid-summer.

Indefatigable weeds
It's November; even the evergreen blackberries have stopped work for the year, but a few plants never give up. Around Mud Bay, the tansy, the hawkweed, and the sea rocket are in full flower. After all, there are still a few flies and beetles around to pollinate them. Can't waste an opportunity!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
