Hi folks - I haven't been around these parts for a while, but I got the camera out yesterday, not today.
Went to the beach and saw this bright red moth flying around, couldn't catch it flying, but as far as I can gather it is a six spotted burnet.

I understand this is a birds foot trefoil, which is what these moths lay their eggs on, so that possibly ties together...

I've no idea what this is. Another plant adapted to live in sand dunes or hostile environments.

Finally a picture of Muttley. I have very few pictures of him. It seems to be very difficult taking a photo of a black fuzzy dog. He can often look like a caricature cut out and stuck on a photograph. He also doesn't like having his photo taken. As soon as he sees the camera he usually sulks and turns away. I've no idea why. However he was 11 last week, and like myself, after being extremely healthy the last year hasn't been quite as good. I thought my opportunity to take photos of him may not go on forever.
