Kew Gardens
With whole weekends off lately, Danni and I have been venturing out (weather permitting) to explore bits of London near my new flat. This weekend we hoped on a bus to Kew Gardens to stretch our legs and get a psudo-countryside experience in the heart of London.
Obviously the camera came along for our trip out, but I tried not to take too many typical flower shots as my photo a day project seems to be filling up with them.
The weather wasn’t ideal and it started to rain by the end of the day, but we managed to see a large portion of the gardens. I can’t go there without visiting the Japanese corner with their traditional gardening style and the massive pagoda.
Summer is fast approaching, but there were still an awful lot of ‘spring chicks’ around. I got to hang out with a few of my fellow Canadians who were also enjoying the park.
The day ended with a healthy meal and a pint of delicious Kew Gold at a local pub while we waited out the rain, which never did end.
There are a couple more photos in the gallery as is the tradition around here.
