It was such a stunning day today when I walked out the door to go to work that
I decided to take the long way to work - the one where I stay on the District line train until the St. James Park stop and then walk up to the office through St. James Park and Green Park, past Buckingham Palace. It was a wonderful way to start the day - very therapeutic! The crocuses were mostly finished, but the daffys were in full bloom, as was the apple or cherry tree. Not sure which, it had pink flowers anyway. I saw pelicans hanging out right by the pathway, posing for photos. So I obliged. Are they ever huge! It's the first time I've seen them that close up.And then I saw a carriage go by on Pall Mall! Seriously - a carriage drawn by four chestnut horses, burgundy lacquer and brass fittings gleaming in the sunlight. I couldn't get a proper picture of it because I was too far away, but it was quite cool.
Today, I love living in London!

And today...you make some of the rest of us want to live there as well. but just today! Lovely picture of the pelicans..they are huge birds and I've seen them close up at, would you believe, Pine Lake!!
I remember St.James Park,but it was not very green when we were there last summer.Beautiful picture, certainly not like anything I see on the way to work, although I was admiring the snow on the majestic Rocky Mountains this morning with the early morning sun reflecting on them.
Remember that?L
Happy first full day of Spring! To ring it in Calgary decided to have a big snowfall. I need to move.
