Keith Burton's photos

Sometimes also called a Hedge Brown. This one is a male and the one in the PiP is a female. Taken during a visit to Devon last month,.

The River Otter Estuary and Otter Point in the distance. Probably best viewed large. Two more views captured on the beach in the PiPs. Thanks for looking.

Taken from the beach at Worthing, West Sussex last Friday.

The pebbles are from Budleigh Salterton beach in Devon. Photographed indoors in natural light using some white card as a background. Thank you to everyone who has visited my photo-stream over the past few weeks, especially if you have left a comment and/or a yellow star! Always appreciated and makes sharing worthwhile.

Adults of the Hornet Mimic Hoverfly can reach 2 cm in length, and it is the largest hoverfly species in the UK. The Hoverfly mimics the Hornet both in size and in appearance, and even makes a similar buzzing noise while flying, but it is absolutely harmless to humans. Taken in my garden yesterday on one of my Buddleia bushes. Both images are cropped as I was using my 40-150mm zoom lens, so I wouldn't frighten it off.

Takenn in the grounds of Portchester Castle, Hampshire.

Taken indoors in natural light. I used a sheet of brown card as a background and added a texture and vignette in processing. I'm not overly happy with the reflections on the bottle, but I don't think they detract from the photo too much. Probably best viewed large..........

Budleigh Salterton, Devon. Taken last week in between rain showers. Best viewed large if you have time.

From the beach at Budleigh Salterton, in Devon. Please view large on black........thanks for looking and have a lovely week!

From the Sycamore tree in my back garden. Please try viewing large if you have time. Thank you. Photographed indoors in natural light from the window. A piece of white card used as a background and a texture added during processing.

Commonly called King's Spear. Taken in one of the public gardens in Southsea, Hampshire. I took a day off from commenting yesterday after a long, tiring drive home from Devon in horrendous traffic. I'll try and catch up with everyone in due course. I wish you all a super weekend.

Taken in the gardens at Hinton Ampner House. A National Trust property near Winchester in Hampshire.

A gull enjoys a bath in a puddle. Taken in between heavy rain showers on Hayling Island, Hampshire. Please check out the PiPs for another couple of gull photos (plus a crow and a banana skin)!

Taken in my garden. Please view large if you have the time.

Bees onn Sea Holly......................big and small :-) Best viewed large, I think,

Taken in my garden I'm off today today for a short break in Exmouth, Devon. We're house-sitting for my daughter while she takes our grandchildren to Snowdonia. I may continue posting and commenting, but it will depend on what we're doing. Enjoy the week folks!

A colourful piece of street art spotted in Southsea, from a local artist who goes by the name of Fark. Some more wise words from Fark in the PiP.

Taken in the gardens at Hinton Ampner House, a National Trust property Near Winchester, Hampshire. Is it just me or does staring at this make anyone else's eyes go funny? Try viewing large :-)
