Bringing you moments of peace with nature photography and tea
The tea garden is only 3m2 in size but full of mosses, ferns and bamboo. What you need is not space but time, letting the garden grow at its own gradual phase.

The beauty of earth - clay - meets the beauty of the sky - light.

A small branch, a single flower even, brings the season into the house. They only last for a couple of days and then something else has started to bloom. And so it revolves.

Moss encapsulates calm quiet life: it grows at its own peaceful phase, is soft and lies low, never flashy or flamboyant. In England, go and enjoy the mossy woods in Dartmoor National Park.

Ceremonial tea is about making everything meaningful around the tea - the brewing, the leaves, the tools, the space, the movement and the moment. I recommend trying making your own cups.

The borderline of ice and water on a winter lake. Like the horizon, this sharp line divides two worlds - one fluid, one frigid.

Small mushrooms facing the big wide world together.

If you love moss, this is something to consider. The soft moss is also a good sensory experience.

I wonder to what extent the calming effect of a bamboo grove is cultural and to what extent engraved within the human nature?

Celebrating the clear visual language of the bamboos. This picture aims to highlight the two contrasting motifs of the plant: the plain stripy columns and the intricate patterning of the elongated pointed leaves.

The tea plant blooms when most plants loose their colours. The little camellia flowers smell of jasmine, which might explain why jasmine works so well in tea.

A view outside the tea room. The semi-transparency of the blinds give the room a secluded atmosphere, yet show glimpses of the bamboos outside.

I want to embark on a mission to increase other people’s peace and calm. The ultimate home for such sentiments is Nature. Expect to see many pictures of moss, water and trees in the future. 🍃

The magic of English autumn happens in the morning when everything gets wrapped in mist. Even if you can’t see the world surrounding you, you know it’s there. That dissonance makes it such a strong experience.

A spooky spider? Nah, just a fern!

Nature is full of things that consciously or unconsciously resemble each other. It is fun to find those similarities.

A little known gem in Essex London, Hornchurch Airfield is a wonderful place for capturing plants, from wetlands, oak woods to meadows.

When picturing a meadow up close, you will never run out of material to depict - this same place has given me so much joy, looking different every hour, day, week, season and year.

Wild carrot is one of my favourite UK native plants to photograph.

Autumn ferns. Sometimes it is good focus on that which is not in focus but left out of it. With a photo series featuring plants, I’ve tried to explore the beauty of the blurred, that which doesn’t take the central stage.

The dialogue between white and black stones. Such dialogues are quiet and you won’t hear then unless you stop on your tracks and look down.
