A close-up, low-angle photograph of a brown, bell-shaped mushroom growing amongst vibrant green grass. The mushroom is centered and framed by two tall blades of grass in the foreground. The background features a soft, dreamy bokeh effect of trees and dappled sunlight in a forest setting.

A blue, blue body of water with small tree covered islands near and in the distance. The sky appears the same colour as the water and holds just a few wispy clouds.

The image shows several daisies (Bellis perennis) in close-up, with one flower in sharp focus in the foreground.
The background is blurred and consists of green grass and other blurred daisies, emphasising the sharpness of the flower in the foreground.

A landscape photo featuring the massive, snow-capped Mount Baker, partially covered by low-hanging clouds, dominating the background. The foreground shows a deep valley filled with dark green conifer trees, which gives way to lighter green alpine meadows and rocky slopes in the middle ground, all leading up to the large, glaciated peak under a dramatic, cloudy sky.

I love the mix of deep green valleys, rocky slopes, and that soft light you only get on an overcast day. It feels quiet out there in a way you canโ€™t really explain until you stand in it yourself.

A black and white photo of an endless stone corridor at Angkor Wat, where sunlight slices in diagonals and brushes over apsara sculptures, their weathered forms standing still, watching over an empty passage, as time deepens around them.

A close-up macro photograph of small pink and purple flowers covered in dewdrops. One pink flower is cantered, with a bright yellow, translucent bead-like centre. The water droplets glisten on the petals, and the background is softly blurred green foliage.

A rough watercolour painting of a misty forest scene.  A number of tall tree trunks appear darker in the foreground and fade away with loose foliage showing at the top of the picture. Beams of sunlight appear to break through the mist to the right and illuminate a blurry figure, what appears to be an elderly person with a stick, slightly bent over.  The figure appears to be trying to find their way, drifting towards a brighter light that can just be seen in the distance.

Iโ€™m somewhat nervous sharing this painting as I created it just after my mother passed away in July this year.

A โ€˜looseโ€™ watercolour of a misty wood. As I watch on in the stillness I see a familiar figure drifting away to a peaceful place ๐Ÿค

Vibrant autumn leaves thickly cover the forest floor. A collage of reds, greens, yellows, & rust illuminated by a low autumn sun. In the distance, through the tall trees, a little wooden bridge is partially visible. The sky is neutral and a little misty

The square decorative stone framed windows are in full sun against a clear sky. The over-hang casts a dark triangular shadow echoing the triangular crop of the visible sky.

Black & white photograph of a woman stood surrounded by high, deep snow in front of her terrace house. The path has been cleared & sheโ€™s smiling at the camera wrapped in a big overcoat & hat holding her shopping bag. 
Possibly taken in the early 1970โ€™s Bradford.
