Looking south from the rockshelf at Soldiers Beach, watching warily for waves which tend to rush into that channel in the rocks.

Chloromyia formosa, Waffenfliege. I never knew that a fly with this name exists until I looked up my find.
I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
"Come lay with me and love me"
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Which I thought for so many years
That I would forever be
But I found you, you found me
I'm no soldier of fortune anymore
That's history, that's past
Light is always ahead
Even angels are around us

Spined soldier bug (member of the stink bug family) sucking the life out of a black swallowtail caterpillar. This event took place on a dill plant that the caterpillar was feasting on.
"I know that love will come
Turn it all around.
I'm a soldier of love.
Every day + night
I'm a soldier of love
All the days of my life." - Sade ❤️

The common red soldier beetle is also known as the 'bloodsucker' for its striking red appearance, but it is harmless. It is a beneficial garden insect as the adults eat aphids, and the larvae eat other pests. They are 1 cm long.
The common red soldier beetle is a medium-sized, narrow beetle commonly found on open-structured flowers, such as daises, cow parsley and hogweed, during the summer. It can be spotted on grasslands, along hedgerows, and in woodland, parks and gardens. Adults feed on aphids, and also eat pollen and nectar. Larvae prey on ground-dwelling invertebrates, such as slugs and snails, and live at the base of long grasses. The adults spend much of their short, summer lives mating, and can often be seen in pairs.
Tombstones marking where two soldiers died at the Battle of Little Bighorn.
If I remember correctly, these two, isolated graves were about a quarter mile from the Last Stand location where many of the 263 soldier graves are located.
I wondered how these two soldiers died - fleeing the battle or making their own desperate last stand, as part of Custer's command of 700 who were overwhelmed by up to 3,000 Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians.
It certainly is a beautiful and peaceful resting place.
Bath - 26 July 2022.
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
