A photograph of a night in our garden, a fire pit glows, with the sky above illuminated by the moon and stars with the silhouettes of the dark forest behind, and the front end of a gold camper van in the foreground of the bottom right of the photo
Low winter sun filtering golden through the trees… the view filled with the trunks of the trees and pine needles in dark to light green depending on if the light is reaching it in the depths of the forest. The forest floor is brown with the bracken dying back from the previous seasons
The bottom of the photo sees the river the full width of the image moving upstream it takes a gentle meander. On the left side in the foreground are catkins and behind a band of red with dogwood stems. The low winter sun tinges the branches golden with a tool weeping willow on the right. A bright blue sky above.

A series of nine photographs in a grid. Top row Foxgloves bright pink stands out against the dappled green light of the forest. A yellow stonefly sits on the end of a finger with the river and trees in the background Bright pink water mint in the late summer golden sunshine beside the river with thick vegetation in the margins. Middle row Silhouettes of seed heads against the blue sky The intricate delicate detail of a dragonfly A raft of Canada geese making their way up the estuary Bottom row A roe deer lit up by the sinking sun turning the whole scene to glowing orange A criss-cross of logs over a stream in the lush green forest The arch of a grass seedhead dwarfing the farmhouse in the background at sundown.
The front edge of a bright orange paddleboard at the bottom of the image, a black dry bag strapped under the bungee. The low sun reflecting across the water in a pale golden glow, the silhouettes of tall oaks create a dark band next to the pale sky with an indentation showing the rivers meandering shape.
A puddle at the edge of the gravel path in the forest. The bare winter silhouettes of the trees are reflected in the water, with the last brightness of light of the winter day reflecting through the trees and onto the surface of the water. With a hint of pink of the sunset caught on the cloud edges.
A nudibranch with a white body and long thin pointy projections all over its body which go from orange at the base to purple to white pointed tips
