New Forest - Bolderwood, Hampshire
Dappled sunlight breaks through the beech tree canopy. It's a privilege to be there some days ...

The Bolderwood Gate

The morning sun streams through the beech tree canopy at one of my favourite spots in the forest.

Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.
~ Ansel Adams
Afternoon Light
Schizostylis, on a cloudy-bright September day
Minimum post processing on this - darkened the background, raised contrast on the bud a smidgeon, otherwise as it came off the card ... ;-)

Glimpses In The Pub
Trixie Finds A Friend

Used to be a safari guide in his native Tanzania until hard times in his village prompted a move to the UK

Catching Up
Spires
New Forest - Lucy Hill, Near Burley
The Glade
New Forest - Bolderwood
A favourite spot for a rest halt - to just look and listen - plenty of birdsong and the gentle rustle of beech leaves moving in the breeze.
The Oak
New Forest - Bolderwood
After learning in school about the fascinating organisms that trees were, I was awestruck at the construction, textures, shapes, and efficiency with which they established and grew - it hasn't really worn off yet ..
Serenity
New Forest - Bolderwood
I believe it was Ansel Adams who said that a good image was one that gave you a real essence of what it was like to be there - we can but try.
A Stormy Day At Studland
View looking westwards towards The Pinnacles from Old Harry Rocks
Studland, Dorset
A co-operative gull completes the image on a day when the wind and rain just didn't want to stop ...
Taking a shot in the driving rain entailed composing it in your head, then raising the camera to take the exposure in the shortest possible time - guess who forgot to pack a lens cloth ...
Storm Light
Old Harry Rocks, Studland, Dorset
Quality of light is a bit of a fixation of mine, and here is a case in point - beautifully clear, and the vast expanse of threatening sky puts your own place in the world very much into perspective ...
Bankes Arms, Studland, Dorset
A good pub that serves ales from its own micro-brewery. The last time I sat in the beer garden a pair of parakeets were swooping amongst the patrons, looking for free food.
