August 28th we undertook a walk in the park, Regent's Park, and especially its Queen Mary Rose Garden. Many of the roses were on the wane, as expected, but a surprising number were still going strong. And in any such British park or garden, there was much else to see.

| Flocking together |
 |
| Japanese garden |
 |
I used to grow these, successfully, despite the winters,
in our pond in Missoula |
 |
| Water feature |
 |
| Incredible borders |
 |
| As far as the eye can see |
 |
| The neighborhood adjoining the park is not bad; Regent's University |
 |
Other considerations prompted us to walk on, through Fitzrovia and
Marylebone, and Hyde Park, to Kensington Palace and its gift shoppe;
above, cavernous Marylebone Station |
 |
| Sculpture along the way |
 |
| Truly cavernous Paddington Station |
 |
| Just the main hall |
 |
| Old Paddington Station; now apparently just the underground |
 |
| More sculpture along the way: The Wild Table of Love, by Gillie and Marc |
 |
| Joining in the love |
 |
| Still processing, but I think it's something very English |
 |
| Block after block of these |
 |
| Finally at Kensington, among the Diana memorials |
 |
| William III stayed here |
