		<description><![CDATA[An afternoon wandering the undercliff. A glance over the side of the wall and below we glimpsed fish swimming hazily into view and then disappearing into the waves. I had to persevere to get some sort of photo but the result inspires me to paint the scene. Here is my photo, thick lipped mullet after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day Kevin and I went for a walk to get out of Brighton. We headed for the River Rother. I grumbled &#8211; too many people, it wasn&#8217;t wild enough, too tame, can&#8217;t get away enough! I missed seeing the pleasant surroundings and wildlife so caught up was I in my thoughts and grumblings. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other night I couldn&#8217;t sleep. I lay in bed, thoughts tumbling through my mind&#8230;and then the song, &#8220;Suzanne&#8221; by Leonard Cohen, started up in my head. I began to sing the words and before I could think properly, I crawled out of bed and fetched my guitar, blew the dust off it and began [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been wanting to photograph the elusive and fleeting wildlife encounters I’ve experienced recently around town – the sparrowhawk that flew straight across the road in front of me making a peeping noise and with a starling or blackbird in its talons. Or the fox which slunk past me on the pavement within a metre [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent cloudy day beside the sea yielded these photos. I love the weathered, sea-washed wood of these groyne posts and the rich rust colours of the pier&#8217;s iron pillars! Click on the thumbnails for a larger image.


I didn&#8217;t realize the words on the pillar were the chorus of a Spandau Ballet song until later!
