		<description><![CDATA[Friday was a day off work and my plans for visiting a couple of nature reserve sites to, hopefully, take some decent images of dragonflies were ruined by the rain and wind. It was Friday 13th after all &#8211; maybe I shouldn&#8217;t have even made any plans! I managed a few hours out yesterday afternoon, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the many things I love about the &#8216;net is the ability to find &#8216;how to&#8217; video clips: watching a video tutorial is usually much better for me than simply reading how to do something. (Although I do still like to have a hard copy reference book to read through.) I&#8217;ve got used to [...]]]></description>

But I had a wonderful few hours in Foxley Wood and the images in the gallery below &#8211; mostly, but not entirely, bluebells &#8211; are my pick of the day.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently spent a wonderful few hours at Fairhaven Woodland &#038; Water Gardens. It was looking very different to my last visit in the autumn : lots of bare twigs and open, brown spaces because Spring hasn&#8217;t entirely happened here yet. There were a couple of areas in particular where ladybirds were out in force [...]]]></description>
