I’m working on my new photo book, It will be 70-80 pages, in A4 landscape hardback and any profits will be donated to two Devon hedgehog charities
Which photo for the cover ? Comment and the winner across all my social media platforms will appear on the cover. #Dartmoor#Devon
Amazing hazel covered in moss by the Dart river, Huccaby, last week. I like to think it was a deer that was petrified by the piskies, / pixies and then covered in moss. #Dartmoor#Devon#mosstodon#photography
The judge’s chair at Dunnabridge pound yesterday, between Two bridges and Dartmeet.
The pound is on the site of a Bronze Age settlement but the walls now are several hundred years old. The shelter was used for shepherds as a shelter from the moorland elements. Probably built here in the 1500s.

A terrific stone circle in Dartmoor's inner space for today's #StandingStoneSunday - White Moor (sometimes called Little Hound Tor) stone circle, a spacious ring with a 6 foot outlier.
In #folklore the stones are a huntsman and his hounds, turned to stone for hunting on the Sabbath (makes a change from the usual 'dancing on the Sabbath' tales).
Visited on a scorching hot and thankfully dry underfoot St George's Day, April 2011.
Welcome dear May, pictures taken in previous years, bluebells near Burrator, oaks near Burrator, hawthorn near Whitchurch down, and oak at Grenofen, #Dartmoor. #Devon#mosstodon
‘In lovely harmony the wood has put on its green mantle, and summer is on its throne, playing its string-music; the willow, whose harp hung silent when it was withered in winter, now gives forth its melody - Hush! Listen! The world is alive.
Welsh; Thomas Telynog Evans; 1840-65.’
