From the Back Cover

'A Year Unfolding is a collection of my images done over many years but though the prints have been made at different times, they have at their core the same thing - my love of nature. I hope you will enjoy this journey though the seasons and the thoughts and feelings I have about my garden, my home and the places I have visited that inspire my artwork. This book is a personal response to watching, drawing and writing about the British countryside throughout the year.'
