Nature Photography

Photo Challenge.  26 March 2016.  

 My good friend and fellow photographer Tim Pryor set me a photo nature challenge on facebook.
Having  never done anything like this before, it was a good optotunity to go through my back catalogue and see what  l could find. 

Now I am the first to admit that, though I love nature and spent 20 years as a National Trust Warden on Dartmoor and Exmoor looking after it in all its wonderful glory,  I am not a nature photographer.  I never seem to have the time you need to really develop the craft. Nature has to get up front and personal shouting  "Look at me!"

Luckily I carry a camera all the time and I have become good at catching the moment.  Hopefully I create images that stand on their own merits and give pleasure to others.  Then there is  the other reason I take pictures, which is to help trigger memories that will last me a lifetime (survival of back ups and  prints permitting :0).  

I look at these images and I remember brilliant holidays, good food I have eaten from the allotment (and my sons face when he finds the only boiled slug in our Sunday veg), walks with friends, the kindness of people, a wonderful nine years walking to work in between having to commute and laughing at a donkey with my granddaughter. 

In short I take pictures to remind how wonderful life can be (maybe not the boiled slug, but it is funny how its always him that finds one).

This is why I really carry a camera.

I hope you enjoy the 
​results.

Yes I know this donkey is not wild nature, but made me laugh.

​"Horny" toads just being common, and not looking very happy about it.  Just outside the back door at home!
