Gone for a Walk - Hyde Park

A couple taking a lazy sunday stroll on the Serpentine

Building reflection in the ICE...on the Serpentine

Me in the Italianate Gardens

Mark, the ever reluctant photo subject in the Italianate Gardens

Swans, and lots of them

A cute... if that is possible Canada Goose

They're prepared this year!

This was simply the most massive Swan I have seen, its a bit hard to tell here though

Kensington Road, with the classic British phone boxes

Gloucester Road Tube station with the old Metropolitan Railway signage.

Photo of the Day No.17 - Hyde Park Italianate Gardens

The sun was shining, what better excuse to get outside for a wander around London. With both exhibitions I wanted to see unavailable we made do with a walk through a family fest that was walking through Hyde Park.
Ducks, geese, pigeons, swans, skaters, boarders, bikes, buggies, joggers, walkers, footballs, couples, families - it was all there. This photo here is of the Italianate Gardens towards the Notting Hill end of the park.
Followed up with a lovely Sunday Roast at The Prince Albert on Gloucester Road before some shopping in Harvey Nichols whilst Mark went home to watch the football.

Photo of the Day No.4 - 3pm attention lapse

Ah 3pm, a time where the day suddenly seems long and yet there is still 2 hours till home time, today I only have to turn my head left to see out over the beautiful red winter sunset over St James's park towards North East London. Spectacular, even if I cannot convey that just here.

Guy Fawkes Night in Battersea Park

The Bonfire, no Katie Price effigy, but we can imagine

The start, of the LOVE themed fireworks...rather non-love, they played Amy Winehouse, Back to Black!
Sigh...pretty

Waterlow Park - Autumn 2009

A lovely sunny afternoon on our way out to Richmond I was insistent that we make the most of the day and take a walk in Waterlow Park in Highgate, just a short walk from our flat. I wanted to capture a bit more of the beautiful Autumn leaves, and I hope I have.
