We spent some time down in Rottingdean today which gave me another chance to try my hand at photographing flowers. We visited the Rudyard Kipling gardens. Kipling lived in Rottingdean for many years, and the local preservation society now maintains his (extensive) garden. Beautiful they may be, but I still struggle to get decent shots of flowers! <\/p>\n

Those are the only one I’m posting from there, but I did get some flowers in among the moorhens at the village pond.<\/p>\n

Back home, the badgers are still around, and I got some good shots late last night. Here’s one to be going on with. <\/p>\n
