A Life outside life-drawing

Yes! I do have a life outside life-drawing.
So I thought I would post two very recent photographs.


I have a large vegetable garden.
Last evening as I picked lettuce, radish and spring onions for a salad supper, I noticed two copulating Scarlet Tiger Moths on a comfrey leaf.
I ran down to the house and returned with my camera. 
By the time I climbed back to the vegetable garden they were relaxing and one had retreated to the underside of the leaf.
The Scarlet Tiger Moth is rarely seen outside South West Wales.
I live in South East Wales.  





Over on the other side of our hill is a red telephone box.
This was our link with the outside world in the 1970's.
Later we had installed in our house a phone.
Now we all carry a mobile.
