Keith Burton's photos

Another from my recent trip to Devon. Part of the town can be seen up on the cliffside. There's a lot of driftwood on the beach due to recent bad weather and you can clearly see how much the sea bed has been churned up,. Best viewed large. Thanks for looking. I think I've commented on at least one of all your photos you posted while I was away. Apologies if I've missed any one. As I get time, I'll try and look at some of the older images in due course.

Taken on the beach at Budleigh Salterton, Devon during my week away. I haven't had time to catch up with anyone yet, but I'll rectify that over the next few days. Meanwhile, I hope everyone is having a good week.

Captured in my garden amongst the Forget-me-not flowers. The first butterfly of the year for me! This will be my last post for a while as we're off to visit family in the West Country tomorrow. Take care and have a good week!

Strangely enough the ruins (which date from the early 1800s) are what is left of a small gun battery set up for nine guns. Why anyone would need that in an ornamental lake is a mystery..!!

This type of street art is more commonly known as Paste-ups. These posters are all by the artist Roo Arbrook. I found these in Southsea, Hampshire. (More paste-ups by Roo in the PiP). www.rooabrook.co.uk

I found this growing in our local cemetery.

These massive pavilions are in the Butlins Holiday Park at Bognor Regis, West Sussex. This what they look like from the beach. Better viewed large, I think. Another view from the beach in the PiP. Thanks for looking!

Looking across Chichester Harbour from Chidham, West Sussex on a lovely sunny afternoon. Better viewed large, I think.

Pigeons fighting over the seed in my garden. A daily occurrence! Taken through the double glazing of our living room window, so not the best quality..............

I noticed the light coming through a gap in the trees in our local cemetery and I like the way it lit up the leaves.

Taken in Chidham, Nr Chichester in West Sussex. Better viewed large, I think.

A bit cliché I know, but any excuse to buy chocolate..!! Wishing all my Ipernity friends a happy easter weekend! .............and before you ask, it's all been eaten (I did share with my wife though) :-)))

Another image from my walk around these beautiful gardens last Tuesday afternoon. I spent a couple hours there after the rain and only saw about 5 or 6 people. In the summer it gets very busy, especially during the school. holidays as it is free to enter (rare nowadays)!

The sun came out and It stoped raining for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon and I decided to take a quick trip to Leigh Park Gardens, Havant, Hampshire. which is around a 10 minute drive from my house. This is one of the tree stump sculptures in the grounds. Please see the PiP for another example.

Another raid on my wife's sewing equipment..!! I bought her this sewing machine when we lived in Malta..........as a present for our first wedding anniversary. We will have been married for 52 years next month..........and she still loves it (and me hopefully)! The patterns in this image are from the same period. She used to make clothes for herself and our two daughters when they were young. Nowadays it's kept mainly for making repairs!

Taken on Bognor Regis beach, West Sussex.

A very simple still-life image of this lovely little cup and saucer set, which I purchased in a local charity shop. All is not as it seems though............the cup and saucer are actually glued together. You can then tie a length of string through the handle, put some bird seed in the cup and saucer and hang it in a tree. Now I've taken the photo, I'll be doing exactly that!

This lovely magnolia flower came from my neighbours garden. I took it indoors to photograph and, as you can see, I removed a few petals to expose the heart of the flower. The lighting came from a hand held LED panel. There is an image of the whole flower in the PiP if you are interested.
