Flower and Photography Holidays

Photographer Philip Dunn has teamed up with botanist David Hawker to provide ‘Flower and Photography’ holidays in Menorca.

Flowers and photography seem such a natural partnership, and if you combine the two with the natural beauty of Menorca – an island I know so well, then something special has to happen.

Botanist David Hawker came on a photography holiday to Menorca a couple of years ago and the seed of an idea was sewn that has germinated, nurtured, and finally blossomed * into the a new holiday venture – Flower and Photography Holidays.

The idea is that David will provide the botanical expertise and I will provide the photography skills. That way we will help people not only to find and identify some of the many rare and beautiful species that flourish in Menorca, but we’ll help them capture better photographs of the flowers and plants they find.

The entire island of Menorca is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve – a very special place for wildlife – both flora and fauna – so it is one of the best places on earth to experience this sort of holiday.

The first Botany ‘Flowers and Photography Holiday’ will be in May 2010 and if you would like more information, it’s all on my other website Inspiration Holidays, which has just been entirely upgraded. The website still has a few thing needing to be finished, but almost all the information is there www.inspiration-holidays.com

When you visit Inspiration Holidays, you may be surprised to learn that we also arrange Tango Dancing Holidays in Menorca – AND Painting Holidays. So if you fancy trying those, you will be most welcome. You may recognise the name on the photographs of the tango dancers – it’s PhotoActive Forum’s very own moderator Maria Falconer. It’s worth going to look just to see her cracking pictures.
