The Bird Hide

Stour Estuary Nature Reserve - Wrabness - Essex

Mixed Media - Oil painting, photography

​

Following only my intuition, I found this spot,
As I connect to the land between Essex and Suffolk.
Appreciating its beauty, each mile at a time
Like a new lover, I explore its contours.
What makes it different? What makes it new?
Working with the light, the wildlife, the reflections, the clouds,
I taste the salty air on my tongue,
My neck still moist from the long walk.
With my camera engaged and my senses alert,
The photographer’s eye scans for the perfect shot.
