Birds, bugs, frogs, snakes, flowers and any day now … there will be fireflies! on May 18, 2012 Photograph: Flickr By Susie Hewitt This is one of my favourite places - it is private land that has been part of my daily routine since I was small. In that time it has been home to horses, set on fire and once harboured a fugitive from an asylum (seriously). This is a picture of where a tree with a rope swing once stood, where I spent many long childhood summers. Photograph: Flickr By Collette_W Beyond the hedgerow.

I really like how this technique creates an image that has everything in perfect focus, I think it gives the image a real depth. on May 31, 2012 in Stubbins.

Photograph: Flickr By Bull of the Bog Beck in spate upper Wharfe valley, Yorkshire Dales An incredibly wet day in the Upper Wharfe river catchment in the Yorkshire Dales last week. Went to meet a very nice farmer to talk about farming and the environment and grabbed a few shots from the car on the way out. Although the light was poor you did get a real sense of the scale and wildness of the landscape on this day with the Wharfe having broken its banks, flooded fields and roads etc on May 10, 2012 Photograph: Flickr By Tim Melling Woolley Woods, South Yorkshire 12 May 2012 I visited Woolley Woods near Sheffield, mainly to photograph Bluebells but I was bowled over by the sight, and smell of the profusion of Wild Garlic. I never feel comfortable 'doing' landscapes, but this scene forced me out of my comfort zone. Photograph: Flickr By dorsetlass Mowing in Thorncombe Dorset.
