Driving through stormy rain; and thunderclouds I pulled over on the driver back home from Glen Coe (Scotland, UK) for a desperate comfort break (mama ain’t too proud) so much was it needed that I couldn’t care less about getting drenched …when the rain suddenly halted (lucky me). Business taken care of bacterial hand wipes administered I reached for my camera to capture this out of worldly light that the changing weather gifted me.

A cluster of green berries clings to a reddish stem, some beginning to darken into deep purple as they ripen. Broad leaves with pronounced veins frame the scene, while the soft light catches the subtle textures of the plant. The image captures a quiet moment in the cycle of growth—where transformation is underway but not yet complete.

I found it tucked along the edge of a trail, where the light filtered through just enough to make the berries glow. It wasn’t the kind of subject that demands attention—it invites it. You leaned in, camera steady, drawn by the contrast between the lush green and the slow shift toward purple. It felt like catching a secret mid-whisper, a botanical truth unfolding in silence.

My latest photography is now available for purchase at crsimages.pixels.com/, featuring prints, framed art, and more from my curated collections.

A wire sculptural piece using increasing needle and fibre sizes.

A larger piece using scrap dress netting strips, quite good to work with as they collapse to a smooth finish.

A track, blocked by a gate, that goes to an empty old house back in the trees. The land is up for sale so soon it will be cleared and stripped for building more new houses. So a little more of urban forest will be lost.

Experiments in crochet, using the fibonacci sequence as a base for the patterns.., please let me know what you think

This home owner in Northern Germany allowed his yard to grow naturally. It gets cut twice a year. It was like a lovely meadow and had many wildflowers.

This is part of a small Ash woods in the Amazon Park, encompassed by what is known as the Adidas Oregon Trail, a trail paved with Bark-o- mulch (a fir bark mulch) intended for joggers. There is a lot of standing water this time of year. The area was generally swampy before the Amazon Creek was constructed to drain the area.
