Berries on the beach.

I don't consider myself arty but I just had to stop and get this shot on my morning walk.

Just been out to check the trap. Apart from an army of giant slugs marching in formation across the lawn, I found this Feathered Thorn on the trap.

The Red Sword-grass is an amazing moth. It looks like a burnt piece of wood.
