Inspired by Brewers droop

The end of the month means there's a new set of images on the Garden Photographers web site - the results of Images of the Month for November.The winner - one of mine!

The rain started falling as I made my way along the arboretum walk in the New Forest. I sheltered under the accommodating branches of a Brewers weeping spruce. As I waited I realised I had a photo opportunity right in front of me.There were some strong entries so I was all the more chuffed at winning. I especially like Marcus Harpur's entry, expect to see this as a magazine cover next autumn. Another south coast photog. Dianna Jazwinski entered a fine shot taken at Poole harbour this has a real winter feel to it so appropriate to the season.My shot was of Picea breweriana (Brewers weeping spruce) - for no very good reason I think of it as Brewers drooping spruce. As an image it does show that adverse weather can yield good photo ops. the hard part is finding them.

  • CONGRATULATIONS!

    Richard this is lovely, looks like there are fibre optic lights on the ends of the needles. Surely you could sell this for a Christmas image?

    Well done again.

"Throttle screws and move the governor spring across a hole.Takes less than five minutes. Can't say I have had any complaints about noise but then again I have customers I have worked for for years and never even met!"

"Thanks Adam, an interesting counter-argument! 2 questions- 1) is this just the throttle-stop screw, and 2) are they then very noisy?  We do seem to have some very noise-averse customers!"

"I was tempted by the Weibang, but horrified by the weight!  Having seen Adam's comments, I'm tempted to look at the Cobra RM48SPH (this is mostly doing small-medium gardens).  What are other people's thoughts re this mower, or Cobra in general?"
