A small beck threads through Peak District moorland under bare trees and bright early-spring light, rushes leaning toward the water and a stony path running alongside. Beginning of Spring A banca outrigger resting in a palm-fringed Philippine bay, low limestone islands on the horizon, glass-flat water under bright cloud. Banca in the Bay, Philippines Snow-laden Dolomite peaks stand quietly under a cold grey sky — a still, solitary scene built for a quiet mind and time alone in the mountains. Dolomites, Italy The Thames at Twickenham under gathering cloud, looking towards Eel Pie Island before the rain. Before the Rain, Eel Pie Island A red-roofed wooden barn rests beside the Geroldsee in the Bavarian Alps, the Karwendel mountains rising in mist behind and a wildflower meadow tumbling toward the lake. Geroldsee, Germany An early-summer watercolour of a solitary riverside walk just after rain — cool, glassy water and floating waterlilies drawing the eye, the path emptied and the fresh air all your own. Beginning of Summer A red wooden cabin with a turf roof sits among golden autumn birches in Øksendal, the Norwegian mountains rising softly behind under a wide cumulus sky. Øksendal, Norway A spring clearing in Bushy Park's Woodland Gardens, bluebells washing the ground in lavender under fresh beech canopy and a dark conifer. Bluebells, Bushy Park Two trekkers walk a Nepalese mountain trail between dark valley walls, autumn shrubs blazing red along the path and a snow-capped peak rising in the cloud beyond. On the Trail, Nepal A watercolour painting of the shoreline at Buttermere in the Lake District. A leafy tree leans over glassy water, the Cumbrian fells misting softly behind, the whole scene held in the lake's reflection. Buttermere Shoreline A grassy path winding past a brook through Richmond Park, bare trees catching the first warmth, on a clear early-spring afternoon. Path by the Brook, Richmond Park Stepping stones lead across the still River Dove to a leafy tree on the far bank, walkers paused beneath it, the Peak District hills rising softly in the summer haze. Dovedale Stepping Stones Veteran pines at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park, dark canopies against a bright blue sky, warm light catching the trees and bracken below. Pines at Pembroke Lodge A peach-warm sunset settles over still water threading through dark marsh and scrub, the sky filled with drifting cumulus and the last light caught in the inlet below. Estuary Sunset A sheltered turquoise cove below the white cliffs of Pointe du Toulinguet on Brittany's Crozon peninsula, maritime pines leaning over the water and pink heather flowering across the rocks under bright Atlantic sun. Pointe du Toulinguet An evening watercolour of a city skyline caught between two showers — dramatic lavender-and-slate cloud breaking open over warm, wet rooftops in the unpredictable British dusk. Evening in the City An old oak in its bronze new-leaf beside a dark conifer in Richmond Park, last year's bracken still copper underfoot, under a clear blue early-spring afternoon. Spring Light, Richmond Park Snow lingering on the high fells above Langdale, framed by bracken-russet slopes and the last copper of autumn in the valley below. Langdale Valley A turquoise tarn rests at the foot of a glacial valley in the Swiss Alps, snow-streaked peaks rising on either side and the ridges fading softly into mist. Swiss Alpine Tarn A towering May sky over Richmond Park — cumulus building above a line of oaks coming into full leaf and an open meadow, a keeper's cottage tucked into the tree-line. May Sky, Richmond Park An autumn watercolour from the western edge of Richmond Park near Petersham Gate, a great cedar standing dark over turning bracken with the campanile of All Saints', Petersham, just visible through the trees. Autumn in Richmond Park A traditional boat moored on the Thames near Steven's Eyot at Kingston, under summer trees. Moored at Steven's Eyot, Kingston A woman in a white gown stands among yellow gorse on the moors, gathering a small posy as the sky goes heavy behind her. Blooming Field A red narrowboat moored beneath a sprawling canopy on the Colne Valley canal, the water cool and dappled in midsummer light. Narrowboat at Colne Valley A young woman in a windblown white dress laughs on a rocky outcrop, hair lifted by the breeze, the deep blue sea behind and small purple wildflowers at her feet. Happy Girl A still pond fringed with yellow flag iris on a warm spring day at Hampton Court Park. Nesting Season, Hampton Court Park Two walkers cross a Cairngorms heath of pink heather beneath a leaning Scots pine, the path winding on under wide cumulus and the tree's shadow falling across them. Scots Pine A summer meadow path in Richmond Park under a heavy late-afternoon sky, wind in the trees, grass gone tall — the park alive with its own weather. Overcast Meadow, Richmond Park The turquoise water of Seebensee fills the foreground, dark conifers ringing the lake and the Austrian Alps rising sharply in mist behind. Seebensee, Austria A river winds through a broad valley beneath a heavy grey sky, a single white cottage tucked in its bend, the fells either side warming into autumn. River Through the Glen A riverside cottage on the Thames at Staines, autumn warming the trees behind, a small red-and-white motorboat drifting past on still water. Staines in September A red Norwegian house stands among bare winter trees in Sunndalen, ochre grasses around it and the building's colour caught in a still reflection in the water out front. Sunndalen, Norway A watercolour of the Lone Tree of Buttermere at sunset — one of the Lake District's most-photographed landmarks, mirrored in still water beneath a peach and lavender sky, framed by the Cumbrian fells. The Lone Tree, Buttermere The Langdale Pikes at sunset, their slopes ablaze with orange and deep red, beneath a sweeping sky of cobalt blue and rose-tinted cloud. Sunset in Langdale Valley Two red Norwegian houses sit on a wild Vesterålen shore, a dark mountain rising behind them under a stormy Arctic sky and wind sweeping the pale sand. Vesterålen, Norway A rustic wooden footbridge over the Longford River in Bushy Park's Woodland Gardens, fresh May canopy and reeds, ducks resting on the water. Woodland Gardens Bridge, Bushy Park Lakeside cabins glow warm through Pacific Northwest mist, conifers dark behind them and the still water mirroring the lights as autumn settles around the lake. Cabins on the Lake A red-roofed cottage on the Colne with a moored narrowboat at the bank, summer trees lush overhead and a heavy cloud rolling in across the canal. Colne Valley Regional Park A weeping willow leans over the Thames at Staines, sheltering moored boats and a red-roofed riverside house in soft summer light. Staines-upon-Thames A quiet bay in Zakynthos, distant islands floating on the horizon while an aloe holds the foreground against the warm scrub of the headland. Summer in Zakynthos
