Autumn Light

There are several butterflies in this blog that are the same species. With this one, is not so much the butterfly but the light that it was captured in. Lovely typical autumn sunshine.

Autumn Colours

Autumn can be the time for some lovely vibrant colours. Not only with the ripened fruit but also leaves. The fern caught my eye as it was being bathed in the autumn sun. Very surprisingly there are still blackberries to be had in the hedgerows.

Prime Beef

Came across these cattle toward the latter stages of my walk. Looked in very fine condition, feeding on the Devon grass.

Southern Hawker

I was very well pleased to get a photo of this one. Dragonflies are such wonderful creatures. Basking in the sun, this one a Southern Hawker very much obliged.

Butterflies

These two were lazing in the sun. One on the left had quite tatty wings. While the roght was in quite good condition. Am still surprised at the amount of butterflies still around. After stalking several, i still never managed to get a photo of a Red Admiral.

Comma

Looking for butterflies around the lanes today, and came across this lovely one. Identified it later as a comma. Basking in the morning sunshine. Not easy to sneak up on and get a photo. Patience being the operative word.

Wall Brown

Took the camera up around the lanes today as it was quite sunny. My aim was to try and spot, then photograph some butterfy`s. Spotting was the easy part. Taking a photo was not without a large helping of patience. This one to the right, after trying to identify it looks like it could be a Wall Brown. It was actually above my head and had to hold an slr camera with one hand at arms length. Not a bad try.
