I love the English countryside – near Shoreham in Kent. Looking down from Badger’s Mount
Beginnings in life are inextricably linked to growth. I’ve been pondering on this and have found that for some time now I haven’t really had any new beginnings. Am I a bit too settled? Perhaps I can go looking for some, but that’s not the way it works. New beginnings kind of knock on the door in their own time. They have their own rhythm and kairos moments about them and it has everything to do with hearing and responding, or not. I suspect my listening has become a little rusty, or maybe I’m just meant to be settled at this time.
My name is Don Scrooby and I live in The United Kingdom. I feel that more than anything else, nature, and the objective things around us, convey a speech and a message we always need to listen to and follow. This kind of listening is life-giving and there is a certain form spirituality about it.
In this blog, through the the photographic image and accompanying words, I’ve tried to share this experience as simply as I can. There is an underlying beauty in nature we all need to see and experience, especially in this day and age as we struggle to save our planet.
Most of my shots are taken with a Fujifilm XT100 camera and my Iphone. I’m no professional Photographer, but I do enjoy outdoor walks with my simple gear trying to capture what I see and experience.

2020, has been a tough year for beginnings, Don. It’s been a tough year for even continuing on course. Here’s hoping 2021 will be better.
Beautiful and very powerful post! I tried to treat each day as a new beginning though it hasn’t been easy to do this year. But I refuse to give away my optimism and hope.

… Or perhaps we have let go of the need for beginnings.
Striving replaced with gratitude and contentment.
For now!
