Tree rings
Posted on January 20, 2023
This tree obviously had a fw years under its belt before it was cut down and turned into logs, like this one from my woodpile.
Autumn in the Japanese Garden
Posted on October 13, 2022
The city of Toulouse, in southern France, has a number of impressive formal green spaces, of which the Jardin Japonais is one of the finest, especially when the arrival of autumn makes the trees produce some dazzlingly vibrant colours.

April’s Last Photo
Posted on May 1, 2022
In our son’s garden in Oxfordshire, I was struck by the almost luminous bark on this tree.
Not ‘The Ring’
Posted on March 2, 2022
I was playing around in Lightroom with an otherwise ho-hum photograph of a clump of trees in the Beecraigs Country Park in central Scotland and came up with this slightly unsettling image that reminded me a little of the 2002 horror film ‘The Ring’.

Shepherds’ Delight
Posted on August 25, 2021
Last week for the Fun Foto Challenge we had the theme of ‘Here Comes The Sun’. This prompted me to post an image of dawn breaking in our little part of the world.
This week, the topic is ‘Tomorrow’, which gave me the idea of posting an image of a sunset holding out the promise of a pleasant day to come. As the old saw has it: ‘red sky at night, shepherds’ delight’.
This photo was also taken outside the back of our house, although obviously this time facing west rather than east.
(And before you say it, I am fully aware of the fundamental futility of having a gate that you can just walk around. But it does add interest to the image.)
Doom and gloom
Posted on July 2, 2021
The looming clouds and silhouetted trees bring a sense of menace to this image, which is further heightened by the thorns on the branch of a rose bush that cuts diagonally across the frame.

Between The Branches
Posted on February 24, 2021
The moss on this tree looks like an aerial view of a rain forest until the bark of the tree on which it’s growing puts it into the correct context.
Weeping Willow
Posted on January 29, 2021
This weeping willow stands at the corner of the pond in the centre of our hamlet, illuminated by one of our four (count ’em) street lights.
52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 32 Frame within a frame
Posted on August 8, 2020
This week in the Smartphone Challenge we’re asked for a shot that’s framed naturally.
Can do. At the side of our garage a line of trees separates our property from a neighbour’s field, in which he grazes some of his horses.
