Garden Scenes
Well tended gardens fascinate but sometimes for brief periods. Great gardens fascinate through the seasons and capturing that fascination has become an obsession. Most of my work is at The Garden House but I do venture further afield. The following dozen images represent a flavour of my fascination. You may see a tendency towards seeking the exotic.

Pollinators
Unsung heroes of the gap between immobile male and female flowers, pollinators transfer pollen picked up while feeding from bloom to bloom to fertilise the female forms. From bees to butterflies and moths, beetles to hoverflies, they all have a part to play in nature. Many are brightly shaded or patterned, an advertisement to predators that they are unpleasant to eat. Others, like hoverflies, mimic the warning colouration of bees, wasps and hornets as protection. I'm always inspired by their industry and forever seek to show them at their most attractive.
