Woods are not like other spaces
“Woods are not like other spaces. To begin with, they are cubic. Their trees surround you, loom over you, press in from all sides. Woods choke off views & leave you muddled & without bearings. They make you feel small & confused & vulnerable, like a small child lost in a crowd of strange legs.
The old tree atop the knowe
Everyone has a favourite tree, and I am no different. In fact I probably have a few, starting with the old beech tree that me and my sisters used to climb as kids. But after moving into the cottage, I now call home, my new favourite tree is found just over the dyke in an adjoining field.

The Faerie Bridge
….it looked like a such magical place; and indeed it was, after walking a sun-dappled mile or so through verdant spellbound woods I reached the bridge where the faeries play.
Carlingwark Birds
I have been taking photographs for a good few years now and every one freezes its own little moment in time.
Mouse versus hazelnut – an short adventure into vine
I have meant to give video a shot for a while, so with increasing amounts of chat about the success of the 6 second vine video i thought that at the least I should give that a go/. So it was just a case of waiting for a suitable subject, I didn’t have to wait long thankfully, as my patience is short, before a little mouse ascended the nut post to nab the currently absent squirrels hazelnut.
The result is seen below in a short looping video.
