From My Creative Journal.
This is my quiet space to share the projects and thoughts from my creative journal pages.

The Tree Project. January.
This year I'm photographing trees through the seasons. The working title is The Tree Project. I'm not sure how it'll evolve but I hope that'll make it all the more interesting.
For The Tree Project in January I took photos of trees in the fog in Lyme Park.
Inspiration Rises from the Mist
Towards the end of 2019 I was driving along the main road from Hartington way in the Peak District towards the town of Ashbourne where I intended stopping for lunch. I especially like to buy local Staffordshire oatcakes when I’m in the area. I noticed every now and again wisps of mist drifting across the distant landscape. I made a spur of the moment decision to take a detour towards the valley between Thorpe and Ilam. Something was pulling me there. As I passed through the village of Thorpe and started to drop down towards Ilam I was rewarded with the most glorious mist rolling across the valley.
