Trees

Black and white images of trees. I love walking amongst trees and through peaceful woodland and forests where I find a real connection with nature and the sounds of the animals and birds that make the forests their home. With trees consuming carbon dioxide to produce much of the oxygen we breath, it can only be hoped that more efforts are made across the world to prevent the destruction of these life giving natural resources. Quite often when i'm out walking I will sit down on the trunk of a fallen tree and slowly breath the fresh air and take in the surrounding sounds and smells of nature finding my own inner peace and balancing my mind. I strongly believe there is no better medicine for our mental health than being amongst nature and taking a moment to let our minds forget about the stresses of our daily lives.

Tree Fungi
Taking a walk along the Ridgeway National Trail near Tring Park in 2016 I stumbled across this very distinctive tree at the side of the path. I noticed how well established and healthy the fungi consuming this dying tree had become, feeding off the decaying trunk and protruding from behind the bark. I felt this was an excellent example of the cycle of nature where as one organism dies, another takes it place and is nourished from the decaying matter.
