Looking Close On Friday-Orange Colour

I have never used this chalk, it's only for photographing.

Chalk streams are rivers that rise from springs in landscapes with chalk bedrock. Since chalk is permeable, water percolates easily through the ground to the water table and chalk streams therefore receive little surface runoff. ... Of the 210 rivers classified as chalk streams globally, 160 are in England

Still posting old stuff until new adventures arise.

This was Cuckmere Haven just days before Europe went into Covid lockdown. We watched the news every night and it became clear the World was on fire. March 16th we drove straight from Brighton to the Eurotunnel, with a small stop to shoot this picture, to get back to France. We had train tickets for late afternoon but exchanged those for a train just before noon.

Ditchling Beacon, Sussex

This lovely little specimen kindly opened his wings on a warm evening just before sunset.

Seen at Flamborough Head on the Coast of East Yorkshire ..

Two pink chalks, the little one leaning against the big one.

Taken on Ivinghoe Beacon in the setting sun, this lovely little butterfly sat and posed for a few shots.

“The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.”

Another from a lovely afternoon at Rough Bank a week or so ago.

Literally praying for this wild weather to ease for 4 or 5 hours at Old Trafford this afternoon or tomorrow.

Polyommatus coridon

Chalk Creek takes its name from the famous Chalk Cliffs on the south side of Mount Princeton (14,196), and the area is also known for its hot springs. The creek feeds a healthy stand of cottonwoods that show off well in fall.

A smart female Chalk-hill Blue on Bird's-foot Trefoil.

Heading to Rough Bank soon to hopefully catch up with some second brood Adonis Blues. I've got the idea of filming one as it wakes up in the early morning sun - let's see.

Many thanks to Laurence Matthews art shop Southend.

Chalk Hill Blue : Polyommatus coridon

A delightful male Chalk-hill Blue at Rough Bank, Gloucestershire. There's often quite some variation in size and markings on these butterflies - this one was a bit smaller and neater compared to some of the other males seen.

Taken a little earlier in the summer in the South Downs National Park, when there was more sun and less wind. Summers can be very unpredictable in the UK :)

Chalk pastel and pastel pencil version in vertical format on 18" x 24" mixed media paper. I drew it from a photo I took at Organ Pipe National Monument in Arizona. Thanks to my drawing teacher this semester, Bryan Robertson, for teaching me how to work in pastels.

The Chalk cliffs of the Seven Sisters, Sussex

Thanks to Everyone who took the trouble to view, comment or fave.

Last 5 minutes of warm evening light on the Seven Sisters & coastguard cottages.

You can see where a massive 10 meter chunk of the 250ft high chalk cliff of the fourth of the seven sisters has slipped out into the English Channel earlier in the week - worst land slip here in 50 years apparently according to some.

You can also make out a few people down on the beach to give a sense of scale.

Best not to get too close to the edge up above, or to the cliff face down below unless you've always had a real yearning to be fossilised in the chalk just like an ammonite :)

Another shot from Ivinghoe Beacon. Taken a few weeks ago when there were plenty around. All that remain now are a few tatty looking specimens.

Another late evening shot from Ivinghoe Beacon. Loads about at the moment including more small coppers than I have seen there in a long time.

Out today with Pauls Pix 53, ianbartlett and ajlelliott for an 11 mile walk from Alfriston, along the River Cuckmere to the coast, and back.

It was a bit windy at times, but there is a storm approaching, so to be expected, but it wasn't that cold.

The limestone wall on the Danish Baltic Sea island of Møn is 6 kilometres long and up to 128 metres high. | Die Kalksteinwand auf der dänischen Ostseeinsel Møn ist 6 Kilometer lang und bis zu 128 Meter hoch.
