Walking the Dog - Army Style

I have finally have got a post in 2015.  Not that I don't have any material, just that I am so busy at the moment that I am finding it difficult to find time to photograph and post.

This group of morning runners from the Wellington Barracks on their way to St James Park, London, with their dog (A regimental mascot of the Guards?) in September last year.

Bored in London

One tourist is not interested in the guide's so informative talk in a London Park!

 

Grey Heron in Flight and Fishing

Photos of Grey Herons this summer.

 

One June morning this adult flew over me as I walked the canal bank.

Normally they change direction if they are flying towards you, but this waited until the last moment.



 

A juvenile with a small fish.  I claim no fieldcraft skills as this bird was skulking in the shadows by the bank right next to the footbridge in St James Park in central London as tourists passed close by on a sunny day this month.

The April weather has continued into May, with little Sun with cold, wet and windy conditions.  This has meant no walks, so here are a few London Buildings taken last month.

London Views - City Skyline and South Bank

Poor weather this last two weeks has not given much opportunity for countryside Spring photos taken in the evening.  So I have uploaded photos taken at lunchtime in London.
