A Walk In The Park; And Then Some

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
