:: 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 :: One of the interesting aspects of forest woods is the difference in texture between certain types of wood such as the grade of Teak for example, which will vary drastically according to many factors including the type of soil it is grown in. In some areas of the country and outside of the UK, forests have not been sustainably managed. When using a forest or woodland for i.e. making oak furniture online and other furniture with other types of wood a sustainable approach should be adopted so that people in the future can enjoy the wildlife, scenery and atmosphere that forests have to offer. It is very interesting that many suppliers of teak and pine furniture are now making great efforts to source sustainable supplies of Teak and Pine as there are many suppliers who are not considering these factors. Taking walks through the forest to view the natural wildlife is a passion of mine and to compliment this in my own garden and home I have created as natural a habit as possible for birds through Nest Box & Nest Boxes that will accommodate various beautiful owls and offspring and many varieties of birds. Seeing nature and the circle of life from spring through winter brings me blissful tranquility. Ashdown Eyes is beautiful and has a wide array of wildlife with one shot above showing the dears that you can regularly see in the forest. However when it comes to wildlife at home people resort to mole pest control and other forms of pest control to rid them of these ‘pests’. I urge readers to find a pest control company which solves their pest problem by using traditional, pet & child safe methods. Some flowers due to the area there in or type of plant they are, are protected by law and thus shouldn’t be picked. Visiting a florist in Southampton or florist local to you can provide flowers in range of different styles, colours and designs to suit the occasion and will not be infringing on any law protecting the flowers that are used. 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.
