Painted lady, Lee Downs
A painted lady butterfly which rested obligingly by the side of the South-West Coastal Path.
Like yesterday’s gatekeeper, this butterfly was resting right by the South-West Coastal Path.
It was helpfully holding its wings open to show the singe “pupil” in the eye spot on its wing.

Cress flowering in a spring
The flowers on this cress plant were tiny.
The patch was growing in a patch where a spring was forming on Lee Downs on the north Devon coast.
This gatekeeper butterfliy was spotted from the South-West Coastal Path.
The two white spots in the “eye” distinguish it from the meadow brown, a similar species.

Seaside sunsets
One thing I miss living in Wolverhampton is frequent photogenic sunsets
When I was in Devon recently, each night seemed to produce a sunset with vivid colours which differed every night.
These pictures were all taken in Ilfracombe – most from high on the hill at the back of the town, a couple from the terrace of the Quay Inn, right by the town’s harbour.
