These are lovely images - you have captured the light in a beautiful way. They are very natural and I like the fact that they make you feel like you are in the place for real.   For me it also shows the resilience of nature.  If we removed the influence of mankind  - this would all spring up fairly quickly I think.  Thank you for sharing them.

Especially poignant during these troubled times, your connection with nature and this landscape is powerful and truthful....thank you for sharing. Imogen

By the way my top 3 are:

I love your picture of A pair of lone cowslips and Carpet of daisies just pretty too. 
Reed is a beautiful image with a good composition, light and texture. Your Dusk image is my favourite I love the dusty light that look like the outback in Australia. Lovely work.

The collection is almost a countryside sales pitch of the Whetmead, expressing the beauty of our backwaters in an urban sprawl. I have 3 favs' 
Frost.
Sunlit frost on burrs.
Early morning winter sunshine.
A great effort all round.]]> 2020-06-10 10:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ruthfosker2/8oyvivwccsf3ltq9/wish/620444036 Feedback from Nita https://padlet.com/ruthfosker2/8oyvivwccsf3ltq9/wish/622357973 Listening to the birdsong, while viewing the images,  I felt transported to the nature reserve, which created an enjoyable experience and evoked feelings of tranquillity, calmness and peacefulness.
 
The image ‘Frost’ captured the spiky seed head with the frost appearing as if it was a hat, against a smooth blurry background, this is my favourite image.  In ‘Backlit thistles’ you could feel the sun razes coming down onto your face.  The ‘Dusk’ captured the beautiful landscape with a graduation of the colours.
 
As the images moved through from different seasons, it was charming to see the first signs of spring which were captured in the image titled ‘A pair of lone cowslips’ the low camera angle shows the beautifully delicate petals with the a hint of light reflected.
 
The collection has used a tonal palette of colours, showing the wildness and nature in all its glory, and it has demonstrated the importance of outdoor spaces to our well-being. 
  
As a result of seeing your images, I would like to take a walk in Whetmead.
 
Wonderful and reflective images, Ruth.

Beautiful work Ruth.
Aimee]]> 2020-06-15 09:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ruthfosker2/8oyvivwccsf3ltq9/wish/627030456 Beautiful photos, Ruth. I really felt I was with you on your walk through the seasons, feeling the peace and calm. I particularly like the cowslips - you don't see them much these days - and I like the way you have captured their daintiness. Cheryl https://padlet.com/ruthfosker2/8oyvivwccsf3ltq9/wish/627095509 2020-06-15 10:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ruthfosker2/8oyvivwccsf3ltq9/wish/627095509 https://padlet.com/ruthfosker2/8oyvivwccsf3ltq9/wish/628805742 These beautiful images somehow also capture the spirit of this time, bringing a heightened awareness of colour and form in the natural world and a sense of the continuity of nature. Ruth’s commentary emphasises fragility but to me these photographs also convey the strength and resilience of the natural world, with its capacity for renewal even in a scarred and barren place.

The soundtrack is amazing - think I identified wren, robin, great tit, wheatear (?), ducks and of course the cuckoo - only one I've heard this year. Your photos are entrancing. What an amazing achievement. Thank you for sharing.
