easter progress - 1:200 structural planting plan

1:200 structural planting plan
Generated in AutoCAD, from this same base plan i have also done my hardworks plan , lighting plan and drainage plan.

easter progress - 1:200 refinement plan

1:200 refinement plan - i have test rendered a section of a plan and am very happy with the style, here is a print out with everything except the people and spot heights dulled down ready for me to render on top- i will post the finished plan once i have finished rendering it- its today's job!

easter progress - 1:100 sections

Over the Easter i have been sticking to my timetable as much as possible, i set myself realistic time scales to the way i work. 

Yesterday i printed off my test photoshop rendered sections without the annotation on it just to see what it looked like- here they are- unfortunately they do not look as nice printed as they do on a screen- the back ground and many of the trees and the sky just do not work. I'm not sure why i have made them so fussy and gone so far back! There are some areas of them that i do like yet there are too many things about them that i do not! anyway i need to move on to today's work and come back to these another day.

work, rest and play at dixter ,,,,

In need of a break from all this work - i thought the best thing for me would be to spend some time with the guys at dixter, get my hands dirty , plenty of fresh air and great company -i hadnt slept this well for months!!! -  its was just what the doctor ordered!
I recommend everyone to just take a few days break if you feel you are going slightly mental.  The break away from it helps you think and process all your thoughts about it clearly.
Here are some of the pics i took whilst i was working and resting!!!



























i did do some work - honest!!! for 2 days i was in the vegetable garden with Aaron, Lewis and little Conifer ( the daxon! ) Here she is sunbathing whilst we work!
