I noted with interest that Swansea University was setting up a Nature Trail on the campus (to be opened by Iolo Williams (http://www.swansea.ac.uk/science/news/iolowilliamstolaunchuniversitysnaturetrail.php). Seeing one of the illustrated signs, the following week I was surprised and gratified to find that many of the images used were mine. It's always nice when stuff serves a real educational purpose and counters my wife's suggestion that 'nobody ever looks at your pictures' (mind you, I can understand her irritation with what might seem like an obsession).
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
