Saw this and thought of Spaniel

Badly framed, out of focus, but this is a statement of intent.

Inspired by a very good friend of mine who has just returned from 2 weeks on a wildlife reserve in South Africa, I went stalking through the undergrowth of deepest darkest Berkshire...

Just off the B3022

Legoland actually.

We all have to start somewhere.

As far as intent goes, I'm training to run the London Marathon next year, and will be running the Great North Run in september just after returning from 3 weeks hiking through the Corsican mountains.... if ever there was a time to get to grips with a) my camera and b) blipping; this surely must be it! Watch this space!

In the mean time, go over and check out "WithSpaniel and I" (www.blipfoto.com/thebrowndog) for some genuinely brilliant photos and equally inspiring write-ups! (She has 1000s of views but can still tell you off the top of her head exactly how many she's had in the last 24 hours - Go ahead. Make her day...!)
