Lilac Lily
"It is not growing like a tree In bulk doth make Man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere: A lily of a day Is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night - It was the plant and flower of light....
Behold, The Lake…
"Here are the Alpine landscapes which create A fund for contemplation; -to admire Is a brief feeling of a trivial date; But something worthier do such scenes inspire. Here to be lonely is not desolate, For much I view which I could most desire, And, above all, a lake...

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous."Â Aristotle I thought it was about time I showed some people interacting with nature and the environment. I felt like David Attenborough, capturing human beings in their natural environment, careful not to...
Little Horn
"Where oleanders flush’d the bed Of silent torrents, gravel-spread; And, crossing, oft we saw the glisten Of ice, far up on a mountain head." Lord Tennyson: The daisy I've always loved this section of the mountain, with it's small horn-like spur (Just left of centre)...
