May 2002

One of the better days this month weatherwise – searching for ammonites on the foreshore beneath Golden Cap
Sunshine and showers, some heavy inland – exploring the lighthouses and quarries on the Isle of Portland, this picture is of the Old Lower Light
May is also the month when Rhododendrons come into bloom on much of the heathland, as here near Bere Regis
One of the wetter days, lending muted tones to the view across Ballard Down and Poole Bay towards Bournemouth
And a another changeable day, from the start of the month, cloud boiling up over fields in the north-west of the county near Yetminster
