The Natural Life Collection - Garden Life and Beauty by Simon N. Anthony

Garden Life and Beauty

Life and beauty found in gardens takes various forms - for example plants, animals, birds - that can be extremely rewarding and photogenic.

Here you will find a selection of photographs that I have taken in many places, of the plant, animal, bird and pond life that surround our daily lives. Locations include my own garden in Aberdeenshire in Scotland; and gardens in Calahonda and Mijas in Spain.
