Our world is dominated by humans, and with it comes progress and ingenuity, but also destruction and conflict. Parallel to this complex human environment is a natural world full of wildlife surviving, thriving, struggling and adapting to a constantly changing climate.

There are few things more enjoyable than to observe wildlife and spend time in nature.  To have the opportunity to marvel at this intricate, sophisticated and complex world filled with tranquillity and beauty. Yet it is also a brutal place as plants and animals struggle for the survival of their species in constant competition with each other.

This website is a celebration of nature and wildlife.  It brings together my enjoyment of the outdoors and the art of photography.  Spending hours quietly observing nature and the habits of its wildlife is highly rewarding.  Gaining insight into how species behave and be able to capture this world in pictures is a joy.  This is a journey of discovery and a quest to capture ever better shots of animals and their environment - the endless pursuit of the perfect image.  Nothing new here, google is filled with fantastic pictures of wildlife, and I constantly marvel at many of them and have a tinge of envy when I see an amazing award-winning photo.  But, this is not a competition, it is an inspiration, on my personal quest to learn about, enjoy and capture this magical world.  This website is an attempt to share some of this experience.  And hopefully to inspire.
