“Memories of Forests and Growing Small” is a (very) short tune I wrote in a similar spirit that I often start with when taking photographs; to focus, steady myself and try to capture something of the moment just as it is at that time. I hope it brings you the peace of the forest!

Dartmoor in September
This shift from August to September is one of my favourite times, especially out on the hills..the purple and green of heather, the yellow (and scent!!) of the gorse, the light spikes and smear of grasses, and the changing skies. And there’s something about knowing that these places have gone through all this since they began, and you’re only catching a part of it.
I’ve been studying for a diploma in horticulture over the past year and it’s made me feel somehow even more connected to the things growing all around us. I remember that I am surrounded by and a part of the whole of things, from the tiniest ant to the largest tree.
I wonder if looking through a lens or writing about these things will feel different, in the same way that knowing about a person helps a portrait?

I was just making up a new gallery page and found a few images I’d forgotten about. We’re in the midst of a cold, rainy, gale grey January and it’s easy to forget that grey has shades and hues, many of which I love.
Colour against the right kind of grey can be wonderful too – it can really make them sing!
I hope these bring come colour and comfort into your day!

We’ve had a bit of extra summer here this past week or so, clear days with a low warm sun..all the plants seem a little confused – a primrose in my garden actually thought it was spring and bloomed a few days ago!
I wanted to try and catch some lightness into these, as light as I could get without fading or forcing them out..

Subtle shift, melting in..
Tresowes Green, Cornwall
A while ago, I took some photographs at the Bovey Tracey Contemporary Craft Festival.
I had such a great day – walking around, admiring and photographing. These kinds of events make you yearn to make things..

Something went very wrong with my last post – the image appeared distorted and it posted an old version of text. I’m sorry.
Here instead are some figs, who appear to be sharing a moment.
I like them better than the grasses anyhow.

I never realised cabbages could be beautiful!
It was hard to work out the light and blur in this one – too much dark and it was too cabbagey, too light and it lost its structure..hoping I’ve found a happy medium..!
