Photographer Builds an Entire Village For the Family of Mice Living in His Back Garden
When photographer Gez Robinson discovered that a family of mice was living in his garden, he built an adorable village to accommodate them. He started this project to connect with his father who has dementia.
I showed my dad who's got dementia. He would count the mice when they pop the heads out and I would see how much it would make him smile. It was absolutely heartwarming. ...The mouse family really showed me a way to connect with me Dad.
Robinson calls the mice that live there the Bramble Family, because they live amongst the blackberry brambles in his garden. He's also created a perfect backdrop for photos he takes, for his grandson to enjoy and to give himself a bit of serenity.
Iknow lots of people consider them as pests, but they give me so much joy...I was inspired to do something special for the mice I started to build them small little houses.... then it became a small whole village within the garden....it's like a mini nature reserve in your back garden.
