This open space, so still and serene, is the very antithesis to the fraught multitasking of modern life. Oh how I long for my days to be filled with this!

Look at these two lovely tiger beetles, sunning themselves on the rocks.

The luminous mist contracts the world to just a dozen trees, and a blackbird’s muted call…

I could fall into a fern's fractal form.

Increasingly, felled trees are allowed to remain in situ, creating their own thriving ecosystems. Instead of being a sadness, they can become land-bound coral reefs. Diversity hotspots of the forest.

Water after water, hour after hour. Spilling, pooling, churning, descending. Singing its endless song.

The vividness of fresh spring greens is intoxicating. And don't you just love a mossy log?!

Bird's eye view of a waterfall. Rocket-rumble and cymbal-clash float up on a column of cool, moist air.

Playing hide and seek with my girls. And it forces you to stop, and wait. And to listen. To attend to the wind in the leaves, and the light-footed robin by your side. Moments of calm, hidden around us, like acorns in the hedge.
