Sunshine on Chagford

It is a beautiful morning here in Chagford although above the village huge clouds are looming over the moors. I took this from below Castle Drogo and it shows Chagford quite clearly, it will not look like this for much longer as the light green fields below the church are being developed and soon a new housing etate will be there!

Common Blue Butterflies

This is my latest watercolour, recently I was several beautiful bright blue Common Blue butterflies basking in the earky morning sunshine on the only bit of the wildflower meadow that had been left uncut, they lookes so beautiful I had to dash to my studio and do a painting of them. Just think how many more there might be if that meadow had been left a little longer!
