Forest, Gardening and Wild life

:: This website was created in autumn 2004 - because I feel part of the forest where I live and want it to be appreciated by a wider audience; because people need reasons to value wild land and highlighting it's beauty is a place to start. It's a simple website where you can browse simple pictures and escape from the 21st century rush... :: |

:: Most of my favourite pictures have occurred out of nothing; when I’ve walked onto the forest deep in thought, remembering my camera as an afterthought; or set off home too tired to take any more pictures only to see something new. If somehow your emotions at the time affect how you see the landscape and how you record it - maybe those are the times you capture something more than decoration :: |

:: Most really
good photographers talk about freezing a moment in time; if I
try to do that I don't normally succeed. I think luck is involved,
getting the camera on and ready to go in the nick of time and
then framing something out of instinct. Think too much and the
moment is lost. I fail a lot of the time through trying
to recreate a previous image, I often catch myself returning to
the location where I’ve got a decent photo in the past and then
I'm surprised not to be able to recreate it. Only then can the
quest for the iconic photo actually begin. That quest is a
labour of love for me ::
I remember reading in the local paper about the pest and mole problems that were plaguing Essex farmlands and golf courses and that an expert Essex Mole Control company was called in to rectify the problem and the balance of nature that the moles had been disrupting, not to mention thousands of pounds in commercial revenue, was once again balanced. Express Furniture delivers another fantastic range of rattan furniture for the 2010 season. Beautifully crafted with unbelievable value for money. Go online to order today! Whilst out walking I see many beautiful, colourful, pretty flowers, as beautiful as any that you might see in The Flower Shop - they are glorious! I really need to put some photos of them on here when I get round to it. The only problem is that the birds can be very destructive to the beautiful flowers, particularly the pigeons. It is therefore necessary once in a while to call in the bird control people, who use bird spikes and bird netting to keep the birds off of the plants and stop them eating the fruit. Gardening is popular on TV, over the years there have been shows based around it, like The Goodlife which is now considered to be a bbc clasic.

With an aging population shows on gardening are only going to become more popular as older people often retire and spend time in the garden.
