A sign of the season?
Still murky in the distance as you can see.
Buckingham Palace gates.

One of the guards - this is a member of the Royals.
The Cenotaph.
It was one much murkier by Big Ben (the river I guess)

Ooh the changing of the guard.
The Royals
The Blues
Flamingos!
Loads of these chaps about!
I wonder if anyone has noticed me.....
Another of the exotic collection. Bar Headed Goose.
Another Heron
State visit I guess?
The concert was Cellist Thomas Carroll and Pianist Llyr Williams playing
Beethoven - Cello Sonata in G minor Op.5 No. 2
Franck - Sonata in A for cello and piano.
I preferred the Franck to the Beethoven, and though the concert was good it wasn't one of the best I've been to. Somehow there wasn't an emotional connection.
I think I need to dial in a bit more sharpening! I can hear the words RTFM :D

Beautiful shots of St. James Park. Love the statues and gates at the palace. That squirrel is so very sweet. And, Westminster Abbey, well, what can one say, it's fabulous.
The sun was wonderful! And great to stroll around. We have such a lovely city.
A good outing & test drive for the cameras too :D
Great pics of London, Pete. The Changing of the Guard - reminds me of when I was little (many many moons ago) and we used to go to London for the day and arrive in time for this ceremony. We must have got up at the crack of the dawn because it was in the days before motorways! :D.
