A memory of last summer.

Chalk Truck this attractive chalk art work is about 4 ft x 5 ft, it is hand drawn and is front in of a local store in North Carolina.

A magical sky and sunset over on the chalk pit of Houghton Regis.

A lovely fresh male Chalk-hill Blue that chose a great perch. I'd been in this area for a while and missed this one - I wonder if it had emerged in the time I'd been there even though it wasn't exactly warm and sunny?

Blue and orange chalks broken in half. It's Monday and I wanted something quick and easy.

Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.

On the way back to Wales on Wednesday I took a few hours at Rough Bank. I know I probably won't get too much time over the summer so with the weather having been warm, and some overcast conditions forecast for the afternoon, I thought I'd have a chance to find some fresh butterflies resting up when the sun wasn't shining. So glad I did. There'll be more to come.

Lots of these now on the wing, such a stunning species when freshly emerged :)

While walking from Birling Gap to Beachy head lighthouse, I spotted this small cave six feet up the cliff face. I had to have a look inside, as I'm irresistibly drawn to such places. It would be a great little niche to sit out a calm tide, but get battered in a big swell. Chalk Pie by Frank Zappa is perfect, a feast of chalk on this majestic coast.

My first Chalk-hill Blue of the season photographed at Therfield Heath in Hertfordshire.

A small lake (pond) adjacent to Chalk Creek in the Swatch Range of the Rocky Mountains. It's known to be a great fishing spot for trout.

Broken Arrow had its first fall festival with Chalk It Up, great weather and a fantastic turn out. There was a lot of art on the street.

The Old Flamborough Lighthouse served as a daymark, but there is no evidence of the tower being lit. Sir John Clayton and George Blake established the tower in 1674. It was designed to display a fire on top, but Clayton was unable to raise enough funds to provide the fuel.

The headland was finally lit when the current Flamborough Head Lighthouse came into operation in December 1806.

From around 1840 until the early 1900s the tower was used as a marine telegraph station using semaphore flag signals. Signals would be transmitted along the coast to the next station, which would have been at Bridlington Fort. Still it stands,

The Chalk Creek flows from St Elmo down into the Arkansas River from the Sawatch Range, part of the Continental Divide in Colorado.

I happened to be here mid-day, and so the light was rather harsh, but I felt that it worked well for a black and white image.

Congrats on Explore!
