I'll never forget it. Loved this, Jenny. thanks for posting.Quiet Pathshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00758542150832581706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086807027793960790.post-66055729108242966572010-08-16T12:18:45.617+01:002010-08-16T12:18:45.617+01:00I enjoyed your stroll along that "posh" ...I enjoyed your stroll along that "posh" place Jen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086807027793960790.post-2579695890101329152010-08-16T03:07:55.702+01:002010-08-16T03:07:55.702+01:00I really enjoyed this walk Jenny!

A bit different from my normal postings. I suspect the feathery bum belonged to Mrs Mallard! (-:<br /><br />Hi Chris, glad you enjoyed it. Maybe if I'd gone with my husband, I could've taken photos of some of the London Museums. It's not my favourite place in the world though! (-:<br /><br />Hi Mary, it was a fun stroll because I'd not done it before and I didn't know what to expect both from the bridges or the birds I might see. I'm glad I made the effort and hope to explore more next time, hopefully with Frank as a tour guide! (-:<br /><br />Hi Tony, yes SOOOOOOO different from the lovely wilderness of Haweswater, but still fun all the same. I can just imagine you entertaining some Japanese tourists!

I noticed a feathery butt in one of the heron shots! Funny.

The view from the lock is UPSTREAM (there is no bridge in view on downstream side).<br /><br />BTW the Egyptians are very common.. a very healthy breeding population. There are some places where the Balsam is so high even I can't see the water!<br /><br />Next time, let me know in advance and I'll show you around Richmond Park or even a short hop over to Barnes WWT.
