Chalkhill Blue and Ladybird, dew-covered

I love getting out ridiculously early, before sunrise in summer to find roosting butterflies, ideally covered in dew. The solitude is wonderful, & I can't beat the tranquility of finding & photographing beautiful insects.

Three's a crowd

Three dew-covered Brown Argus, waking up from their roost in glorious warm light just after dawn.

Beautiful to see them continuing with a strong(ish) year after the terrible last year.

When the weather is poor, the boats can sometimes come to life in the rain, here creating another layer, an extra brushstroke on the wooden or metal canvas.

For #Sharemondays2026 this week: a sky full of stars, while moonlight illuminates the remarkable granite spires of Frey in Patagonian Argentina.

Moody clouds over a beach with smooth sand. On the horizon there's a black mountain covered in ice and snow

Peachy skies above a golden iceberg with three peaks, which looks a little like a mini mountain range. There are little bubbles visible inside, catching the light.

A little Icelandic mountain range (well, actually just a close-up abstract of an iceberg at sunset). My entry for this week's #ShareMondays2026

Made such a good subject with lots of colours and textures, with all the grime accumulated on the window pane and the plants pushed up against the glass
