One Community is a monthly photo project in which participants photograph their lives and communities with a theme in mind. The theme varies by month. The goal is to both showcase similarities and differences in our communities worldwide – and bring us all closer together in understanding through art.

Welcome to my One Community, with thanks to Sarah.

| Fancy a cool, natural shower? This inviting pool and rock shower is a pleasant reminder of holidays in my homeland South Africa, and of childhood play. Now living in the UK, my life is a far cry from this, not least because of the weather, but also because you simply don't see scenes like this in suburban Surrey. |
 |
| This pleasant location is my calm. The tree dominating the photo is Mom's tree. It is where we scattered her ashes. It is where we come to reflect. Surrey is a wooded county, and this beech tree is typical of the woodland near to my home. Quite different from the rugged scene of my childhood above. |
 |
| Signs of spring are everywhere now. Green shoots and tender leaves. The mild, wet winter has brought the fruit trees on quite early, perhaps too early for a good crop. Time will tell. I love the light and rain drops on these young leaves in my garden. |
 |
| These two 'babies' were the best of friends. The dog in the foreground died in 2012. His best pal mourned his loss. In life, they never stopped playing, and read each other's next move perfectly. A very good example of friendship. |
