Beautiful photos! I particularly like the one with the sheep and also the one with the ferns.

That's ivy! When ivy reaches a certain age it stops growing and starts flowering instead and the leaves change shape too. A friend told me that the ivy flowers are an important source of nectar for bees in the autumn. They have a bee hive in their garden and the guy who owns it was very happy there was so much ivy in the neigbourhood.
