I love great quotes. Things said by the famous and not so famous that resonate with wisdom and truth. Spontaneous words that shatter myths or re-route my own inate self-deceptions, distancing me from myself in order to see more clearly how and why I respond to experiences the way I do, and how to process negative energies into healthy, positive opportunities. I have collected quite a few and attempted to organise them into varying sets in the 4 pages linked here. I offer them to you in digestible bites in the hope that if you do happen to be harbouring a nagging conundrum, you might just find the key to a solution here.

I love all animals but birds have always been a source of undying fascination for me. I produced this page for myself as a learning tool. It shows most of the birds I've spotted in Perthshire so far, the most recent addition being the Kite which is now breeding here in the wild. Click on a bird and the pop up window shows more pictures and plays the birds song. It's a fun page and we've often played "Guess the Bird" from the song. I intend to write brief descriptions for each bird to make it complete.

Horses are the love of my life. I have had several but now have just two. To me horses are natures greatest gift to the natural world and over millenia have evolved to have a very special relationship with humankind. Unfortunately, this inate sensitivity is often overlooked and even misunderstood and it has been my life with my own horses to develop this sesitive relationship through patience and the practice of agility games, using requests rather than commands. I never use a bit nor shoe my horses and mostly I ride bareback. If you like horses I think you may like these pages.

This page shows a large selection of websites I created when I was a full time web designer. Some are currently active others are no more. I used a bought template once in my entire career, all my sites are original and produced from a blank canvas.

I have an outdoor life here with my horses which is a great counterbalance to my sedentary life as a graphic designer. I am a keen photographer and never want to waste the opportunity of getting that perfect shot of the incredible vistas that I am blessed to witness every day of my life. And though most of the time capturing that beauty on camera eludes me I cannot resist trying. But no camera is more sophisticated than, nor can see like the naked eye. To live with such beauty on my doorstep fills me with awe and gratitude. Here is a selection of my pictures.
