The Isle of Purbeck is a peninsula on the southern tip of the the county of Dorset in England. The photographs I take, hopefully, help to express how I feel about this magical place and show you things which you may see if you come to visit. I am a full time, professional photographer and have a gallery in Swanage.

There were very few butterflies to be seen this morning, perhaps the strong wind was keeping them tucked up. Along with a rather pristine Speckled Wood was this one and I have been informed that it may well be a Holly Blue.
These have to be my favourite butterflies (hmmm - blue's my favourite colour too!) We don't get that many in Wales, but surprisingly, one of the first butterflies I saw this spring was a blue - probably Common, but here and gone before I had my wits about me and could identify it. I still have memories of butterflies by their hundred and including many blues, near Winspit - the little open quarries slightly to the East of it. I'm talking 25+ years ago now though. . . . and then there was the Year of the Clouded Yellow . . .
