What a video, and what powerful images. I just read a comment from Al Trujillo and I couldn't agree more. I've seen 1000s. of video's of other excellent photographers on social media and while I do have favourites, your the only one I've ever looked forward to seeing. Your work is pure magic, class. And I absolutely enjoy you sharing your incredible woodland knowledge. I mean not so long ago, after 30 years I was on the verge of packing it all in having lost my mojo so to speak. Then Mr Heaton introduced you to us all and now, I'm back out there enjoying the woodlands and seeing them from your perspective is very inspirational. Great vid, Thank you.

Simon...you have become my favorite photographer. You are a wonderful Naturalist and an admired kindred spirit. I especially love your observations between organisms and the environment and your willingness to spend time explaining the natural world and images you share with us. Landscape images are the summation of many small parts and you focus down to visit and talk with the smallest parts of the landscape. I too hug trees and I applaud your approach. Thank you.

Hi Simon. You talk about epycormic growth being a sign of stress. Here, in Australia, we see epicormic growth after fires. Our trees mostly do not die after fire but within weeks, even days, new growth will appear all over the tree. After a month or so it is hardly possible to tell the tree has been burnt. So yes, a sign of stress, but in our case a sign of a healthy tree that simply won't give up. Keep up the good work. I, like so many others admire your imagery and appreciate the time taken to explain the why and the how.

You are definitely my favorite photographer. This is the KZitem channel I watch first on Sunday. It’s like walking through the woods with you. There is only one other KZitem photographer (Henry Turner) that brings me into the landscape with them so I am almost disoriented at the end when I see I’m in my living room! You walk through the woods like I do: always stopping and observing the flora underfoot and on trees; except you know the names of them and even how they’ll look in a different season! Keep up the good work! I will let you know when your photo arrives.
