A passionflower plant in a front garden in a quiet lane near the Exe estuary. The fruit were ripening, while the last of the flowers had not quite disappeared.

Another gaudy sunset, Topsham
A second evening watching a gaudy sunset reflected in the calm waters of the River Exe at low tide, seen from the terrace of the Passage House Inn at Topsham.
Summer finally arriving in early September after a cool and damp July and August. Darts Farm, by the road from Exeter to Exmouth, is a very elaborate, rather upmarket farm shop. The sheep and pig were grabbing every inch of shade in their pens, less than happy at the unaccustomed heat.

Hunting egret, Goatwalk, Topsham
A lesser egret stalking and catching small fish in the River Exe off the Goatwalk at Topsham, then flying a short distance upstream to try its luck in a different spot.

Topsham twilight
A few days’ break by the Exe estuary earlier this month. I’m still walking around with the aid of a pair of crutches, which makes photography awkward.
These pictures taken on a mobile. The Exe estuary at Topsham, shortly after sunset.
Lots of exposed mud. The river’s tidal there, and the tide was low. The views are looking down from the wall of the churchyard, high above the river.
