This is again, from a drive through the back roads of the Dandenong ranges in Victoria. I was just driving around and stopping to photograph things that caught me eye (I wound up lost too). This is a plot of land behind a farmhouse near Seville.
This was a beautiful place to be – when the children were there is became magical – every door opened wasn’t a garden it was the secret garden and we had to look for lepricorns and fairies and smell every flower and describe every tree.
This photo recently won 2nd place in the Westford Regional Art Show in the area of young adult photography! Thanks again to everyone for all the great comments!!
After discovering this amazing forest of Californian Redwood’s, I spent about 5 day’s on this image returning to this same spot everyday. Location – Victoria / Camera – Fuji Gx617 / Film – Fuji Reala 100 To see more of my work please visit www.gallerym-australia.com
A collaboration with Rosalie Dale (my mum!), Misty Morning was perfect for my Avalon series, I think it works perfectly for the beginning of the story… The sword in the stone – where it all began for the boy who would become King Arthur. Born at Tintagel to King Uther Pendragon and the lady Igraine but sent away to serve as a helper in another castle, the boy who would grow up to become King Arthur was raised unaware of his parents’ status. He was a natural leader, a good fighter, and was always scrupulously fair, yet modest and unassuming. One day, a mysterious magician named Merlin announced that in the woods lay a stone with a sword thrust deep into its center. He promised that whichever man could draw the sword from the stone would be crowned the next king of Britain. Men came from all over the land to try their luck with the sword in the stone. Everyone from the knights to the blacksmiths, from lords to peasant children, tried to extricate the sword. None could. Finally, young Arthur was persuaded to try. Feeling foolish, he approached the stone, shaking his head—for why should he be able to pull out the sword, when the strongest of men had failed? But to his surprise and amazement (and to everyone else’s, certainly), as he grasped the pommel of the sword, he pulled it smoothly from the stone. This young unknown boy was to be the next king! Merlin came forward and congratulated the stunned Arthur, and that is where the story of King Arthur all began—with a sword in a stone.

Morning Walk / Available as a print, card and poster Nature rarer uses yellow / Than another hue; / Saves she all of that for sunsets,— / Prodigal of blue, Spending scarlet like a woman, / Yellow she affords / Only scantly and selectly, / Like a lover’s words.

This is the soul of the Forest speaking! I have beauty and grace, color and fire, respect me for I am home to many. Without me the wind and sun would be harsher and the waters would flood the earth, I am part of Balance! Taken at Union Creek, Oregon!
The third in my series “The Soul Of The Forest” / I think that forests and forest creatures have their own protective spirts. Have you ever leaned against a large tree trunk and felt the spirit of the tree? Most people feel peaceful, when in a forest, not only is that due to all of the extra oxygen given off by the trees, but it is also due to the friendliness of the spirits within that live there. This image reflects the light of the one true spirit, the God that is in all of creation, may his love shower down upon us all! Image take at Union Creek, Oregon First time I’ve ever been able to photograph such beautiful light rays! What an experience! *2,142 views and still counting, all since last January ‘09 C3C80_EFBE9_60EFB I have been fortunate to have this piece featured in the following groups: Olympus and Four Thirds, Natural Color and Light, Mountains and Mountain Light: Thank you so much for this honor!

Again a shot from my archive, showing a lightful forest road near Hilversum in December 2007.

I love my walks in the woods … and I do come past this particular spot fairly frequently … never does the light seem quite right for a shot with character and personality …. you know the kind of shot I mean – one that “says” something!! Well, until this particular morning of course!! Imagine my delight and wonder at the display before my eyes! Epping Forest, Essex, UK Canon EOS 450D 18-55mm kit lens
