Ashridge is a truly beautiful place: a world full of ever-changing scenes, with each season painting a different picture. It is my source of inspiration. I love to photograph the gardens and the woodlands that surround them. They are so rich in feeling and colour, the light and shadows enhancing the vibrancy of the many different shades. The deer, which were elusive during my childhood visits, now pose for the camera, as do the other creatures who share their frame. I have built up my portfolio during many walks, and I invite you to share them.
