An African Orchid Tree in Farnborough






This marvellous tree is growing, flowering and fruiting in the most unusual of settings....a housing estate in Farnborough, Hampshire. It's flowers are as fragrant as though they were in the African bush...... Dream, tree of life, accept my offerings and my lost hopes and dreams.....touch the earth and sky and link us all to the original creation.....to the sky and the lightening and the dark brooding clouds.....

Banded Grayling and Linnet at Long Valley




This magnificent banded grayling was on the path running through long valley. What a sight. What a personality!

Little Egret







These magnificent birds are now a common sight in Southern England, even in towns like Farnborough where they hunt along the Cove Brook.....ON the coast they are regularly seen in rock pools hunting for shrimp and small fish in an agile manner.

Shepherd Park and the River Blackwater








This riverside park in Camberley is an amazing place in the urban heart of the great town. It is home to numerous birds and possibly even water spirits in the flowing dark waters........shrouded in trees and bordered in other places by reeds and giant angelica with its white flowers.
