Things to Consider
Stories, musings, and mind bites to reconnect you to the world around usWelcome, it’s so nice to have you visit!
On this page you will perch on the sill of a window and peer into the wild. I love to write about unpredictable animal encounters, the beauty of the wilderness, the fabric of the universe. You may find something you didn’t know you were looking for, you may be inspired or sparked into a recurring train of thought from a different perspective. You may laugh, or you may find yourself contemplating your own mind. You might find comfort knowing you are not alone, and you might learn a new animal fact. It’s a real mixed bag but know that if you reach in, you might pull something out.
Enjoy your exploration!

The Tiger, The Warrior And The Bear
There is a layer of snow covering the ground, all around burnt trees look frail, afraid, traumatised, lonely. The army of thick charcoal columns stands decrepit and deathly. They are decorated with wrinkles of pale grey ash where flames most deeply penetrated the once...
Journeys Behind The Images
The journey to Norway was as much about going home as it was about photojournalism. The first impression I had was its purple snow dappled fingers of fjordland reaching out into the ocean and a wave of knowingness and comfort. Peering behind me I could see white...
Coronavirus: How Did We Get Here?
For hundreds of years, since before the agricultural revolution began, human kind has been using nature’s resources with reckless abandon. Before science bloomed we thought the world an infinite source. It was fantastic. Farmers could learn how to measure the...
