On Meldon Hill

There were several ponies with newborn foals today enjoying the sunshine on Meldon Hill with Chagford down below in the distance.

Spring

Suddenly the new leaves of spring are opening and everything is looking beautiful in the sunshine, this is a view along the Hunters Path below Castle Drogo near Chagford.

Blacks Equine Customer!

I just had to take this picture of this customer at Blacks the brilliant deli next to my gallery!

Springtime in Devon

The Primroses and daffodils are fantastic here this year and this warm spell of weather has brough out many butterflies, I have seen several male Brimstones, Peacocks and Small Tortoiseshells. Also several Swallows have arrived back which is always such a joy to see.

Oystercatchers

I have just been working on some watercolours of Oystercatchers and Sanderlings having been inspired by seeing them on the Exe estuary, I have really enjoyed painting these in a loose watercolour style.

ECLIPSE

Just been watching the wonderful eclipse in a large stone water trough at Rushford Mill on my morning walk to Chagford.

A Walk above Belstone

Another stunningly beautiful day with amazingly blue skies. I had a lovely walk on Dartmoor above Belstone it was absolutely silent with no one around just the sheep & the skylarks to keep me company.
