Ursula Franklin is a wildlife photographer from Somerset. Ursula was born in Yorkshire and developed a keen interest in photography aged 10. Since then, she has combined her love of nature and passion for photography, and this clearly shines through in her images. Ursula moved to Somerset with her husband in 2009, a place which they had visited on holiday for over 20 years, and both loved. Despite such a keen interest in photography, Ursula only took images for her own pleasure. Ursula's husband was a huge supporter of her hobby and was constantly encouraging her to 'do something with them'. Following his sudden death from a heart attack in 2012, friends and family took up this mantle and Ursula was finally persuaded to both sell and exhibit her images. A selection of these can be seen at www.f4inspirationalimages.co.uk. When not out photographing, Ursula works in leadership development and links the two by combining her images with inspirational quotes. Her other hobbies include singing, walking, and travelling, the latter two always with a camera in hand.
