I confess I don't know why they are called sloes - they are the fruit of the Blackthorn - a tree species that is regularly planted in hedgerows as it can grow nice and densely and has horrible long thorns that make it work as an effective barrier - a perfect hedgerow species. More photos of when the first ones started to turn slightly bluish and now many pictures of the purply/blue berries that are ripening nicely. I have photographs of the sloes when they were first forming on the blackthorn, small and green. I feel like I have been on 'Sloe watch' for weeks, possibly even months.
I love to photograph what catches my eye and often share these via Instagram stories. I'm forever looking at what is growing / changing colour/ appearing / disappearing. Those of you that follow me on Instagram will no doubt be aware that I love to gaze at hedgerows.
