Summer in the North has been rather warm and favourable,
although the spring was changeable and cold from time to time. Now
(at the beginning of august) some marks of autumn are appearing in the nature
among others in the bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), see also autumnal colours!
There are some individual differences in the dwarf shrubs, as you can see in this picture.
