Welcome to JillBatchelor.com

I have wanted to be able to have my own website for a long while and finally took the plunge in 2008. With many thousands of photographs going back several years I wanted to share them with a wider audience and hence the website was born. You will find lots of images in my gallery and I write about my photography days out in my journal.

I have tried hard to strike a balance between creating a useful resource for photographers, nature lovers and those who simply enjoy looking at beautiful images. In my quest to improve my photography skills I’ve learnt a few tricks along the way and include a few of these in my journal entries.

I hope you enjoy your visits and return to see what I get up to.

Kings Wood Bluebells 2010

Read more...  A year without a visit to King’s Wood at Bluebell time is unheard of, but this year it happened later in the year due to the winter being so harsh, followed by a rather cool spring. It means that the Bluebells have been at least two or three weeks later than in the last few years.

 
Spring 2010 visits to East Blean Wood

Read more... I made several trips to my favourite local wood at East Blean during April.  I have been visiting this wood for several years now and I find it interesting to see how different each year is.  The hardest winter for 30 years has made a really big difference to when the spring flowers have been at their best this year.
