I know in my last entry I said I wanted to put a little more variety into this section but I took this shot last week and just loved the mood it creates with the dead tree in the background and the rows of new planting leading the eye straight towards it. I think its the contrast between the new and the old that makes this photo tick, plus the very dramatic sky.

As we enter Spring I've already mention how I hope this'll help bring the variety I'm after to this section and in this image I've started to do this. In the woodland one of the first signs of the changing season is the appearance of Daffodils, I think this photo again as with the one above works because of the contrast between the still very dead looking trees and the new life on the ground.

What caught the eye here was general shape/form of the tree as it's a little unusual because it's clearly one tree which appears to be two. It isn't actually in any of the new planted areas but there's just something about it that makes it different.

There's a couple of ways you can look at this photo, one that it's someone having a bit of a laugh or two that its someone highlighting a serious health and safety concern. Unfortunately I think its probably the second because in today's world everything is seen as a danger to your health and landowners have to cover themselves against law suits. I think personally this just proves my growing concern that the whole world has gone crazy, what next warning signs saying you might slip on the wet grass? This is why I like this shot because it serves a double purpose of illustrating a local issue but at the same time anyone can relate to the health and safety madness we all live with.

I been keeping my eye out for a while now for a good wildlife shot to show something of the kind of things that you're likely to find within this forest but had struggled a little. First I tried birds, pretty easy you'd think but not as straight forward as I'd hoped in the more mature areas. Then I thought Badgers after I'd seen the sign, again this time of year with the young starting to leave the sets it supposed to be easy to get shots while the lights still pretty good. To my amazement I never saw one badger in the couple of attempts I had, I know there there it just seemed they also new I was. Then when I was really beginning to wonder what I was going to do I came across to very young Grey Squirrels playing with each other, they could have been very old at all and it could have even been the very first time they'd left the dray because as long as I stayed very still, up wind and in the sun they didn't mind me watch them at all. The three photos above are the best from quiet a few I took and I think I'm personally leaning towards the last shot as my favorite because I like the way I managed to capture the larger of the two playfully biting at the smaller's ear. I always think wildlife images work better if there's a little action involved, some how it makes the photo's seem more real and less posed (not that its easy with wildlife to do this but you no what I mean).
