Despite often dreaming of far away destinations, I always liked garden photography. Also when giving lectures, it is the part “shot in the garden” that makes people wonder and smile, I guess since these images are quite accessible and recognizable.
A while ago I made this image from the permanent hide in my parents garden. It shows a roe deer (successfully) fleeing from hunters.
and recently I experimented with flashed mushrooms, behind an autumn leaf
Two weeks ago, I visited relatives in France. Just some pics from our road trip and the fire salamanders we came across in their garden (region of Brive-la-Gaillarde).
France, were Houndsharks are sold as sea eel on a local market…

First sign of more interesting animals
After a rain shower, mouse holes were full of life
We helped several of these huge fire salamanders across the road, many others were hit by cars
