Abstract Views
Claire Ogden Magical Trees Roseland Peninsula, Cornwall, England, UK “I was looking for colour but few leaves remained on this hillside of trees in late autumn. Using software, I inverted and then altered the colours further to create this magical, abstract treescape.”
Beautiful Gardens
Nigel McCall Indian Summer Morning Aberglasney Gardens, Carmarthenshire, Wales, UK “The Upper Walled Garden is an inspiring place to photograph at virtually any time of year. It was now late October and the cool and sometimes frosty nights were being followed by warm, bright and calm days. Mist filled the valley and the morning sun began to highlight the scene; the conditions were perfect to photograph an ‘Indian summer’ morning.”
Wildlife in the Garden
Petar Sabol Survivor Goričan, Međimurje County, Croatia “Beauty can be found in the imperfect, damaged wings of this male dragonfly – Sympetrum striolatum (common darter). I discovered this specimen close to the pond in my garden. It was morning when beads of dew were still to be seen and I waited for the perfect alignment to complete the composition.” 116 THE ENGLISH GARDEN APRIL 2021
