I am in the middle of such an exciting week; two things, firstly the learning curve and secondly the awesome beauty of autumn. First the learning curve; well with it being Epsom "Love me love my mind week", with whom I work each year, exciting things happened. 

I love judging the art competition and this year there were some very deserving entrants, it was really quite a difficult decision, with two others to to decide the winners; however that all went well. The but, a big challenge, was my workshops over the web, now running that with two cameras was, shall we say, a tad tricky, all new to me and I needed to learn a great deal, with thankful support of the conference tec. team and at my end Mark. Thank you both. But the work shop went well, seemed to be well received and I enjoyed myself.

Now the beauty of autumn; the above photo I took at Polesden Lacey, Surrey this morning, a gorgeous walk with all the autumnal colours just starting to appear. At this time of the year we can all go for a walk, then do the same walk a week later and it is so different. I always feel that there are many more seasons than the accredited four, autumn, winter, spring and summer. Nature seems to be different almost every week. A bonus was a red kite flying very close to us, only about ten yards away, now that was something. 

Below is an ink of an oak on the banks of the Basingstoke canal which we passed the other day.. Getting the water lily leaves to float was a tad tricky, but I thing that the end result is ok.

Oh well, see you soon.
