Back to nature

Oh dear, what a day! Work was too dreadful for words, and the whole sorry experience has all but destroyed my blip hopes for today.

It's now 9.15pm and it is the first bit of time I have had to myself since I got up at six o'clock this morning. But it's going dark, I'm tired and I don't feel too good.

What I'm trying to say is that this is not the best blip effort in the world - but I was anxious not to lose my 100 per cent record.

However, at the same time, I didn't want to produce any old shot. The fact is that when I've had a day like today, nature is so wonderfully soothing.

The shapes, the colours, the smells... they take you a million miles away from the madness of the 21st century workplace.

So this photo is representative part of my day - the moment when I was returned to normality and could appreciate life once again.
