Not from today but I've been camping near Pembroke for a few days, and wifi and computers were far, far away, so here's a few days worth of 'my pic of the day', better late than never.

I think this is Burnet moth. I know @furball has helped me identify butterflies and moths in the past, was wondering if they or @briantrumpet or anyone else can confirm?

Some lovely views, and pretty quiet and stunning sand beaches around there.

Standing on the edge of the world........well the edge of Wales.

And here's the magical St Govan's chapel. Built in the 14th century it was built in a fissure in the rock once occupied by the hermit, St Gofan/Govan in Welsh/English, who settled there after successfully using the remote location to hide from pirates some time around 500AD.

Pretty sure that is a Burnet moth. It tends to be associated with ragwort.

Sunset last night at Le Touquet, France.

Sunflowers, grown as a soil conditioning green manure.

But doesn't half make me hanker after some flakey milk chocolate..

A standard tourist pic of Tobermory looking south. Normally I would miss out the barriers and some rooftops but had to get the bike in so the whole effect is a bit messy. I wish somebody would chop that intruding branch as well.

Yesterday lots of Painted Lady and Red Admiral butterflies which migrate from the Mediterranean. Could not get a decent Red Admiral pic but here is s Painted Lady having a rest.

Thanks folks

I've no idea of their names, or of the birds I photograph. I just like taking pretty photos

I'm afraid to say that we drove up the Col de Rousset, as we wanted to go for a walk from there. But my cycling friend Andy is pointing at my house

I miss the French Alps A lot of the views over there, even from the chalet I stayed at near St-Jean-de-Maurienne, were like that.
