ALL AROUND KENSINGTON GARDEN

I think I just can sit on one of the benches without doing anything but just watch the surrounding here, for hours, until the sky turns dark.
















































I guess this would be my last posting of some of the photographs of my recent trip. Hope you love it as much as I do. (There is going to be one more set of pictures of flowers which will be accompanied by a poem later, the very last one from Germany)

LONDON THAT I SAW IN ONE SUMMER DAY

FLOWERS AROUND STRATFORD UPON AVON


Who Makes a Garden
Douglas Malloch (1877-1938)


Whoever makes a garden
Has never worked alone;
the rain has always found it,
The sun has always known;
The wind has blown across it
And helped to scatter seeds;
Whoever makes a garden
Has all the help he needs.
Whoever makes a garden
Should surely not complain,
With someone like the sunshine
And someone like the rain
And someone like the breezes
To aid him in his toil
And someone like the Father
Who gave the garden soil.
Whoever makes a garden
Oh has so many friends.

WARWICK THAT I SAW IN AN HOUR

The time limit for the car parked was just an hour. Please enjoy the beauty of Warwick that was captured in such a short time.

WALKING THE ROADS OF OXFORD

Here are the roads that had been walked by Oxonians who turned out to be famous figures of the 19th century that I recognize: Crown Prince Naruhito of Japan, V.S. Naipaul, Aung San Suu Kyii, John Le Carre, Imran Khan the cricketer, Prof. Stephen Hawking, Graham Greene, Hugh Grant, T.S. Eliot, Edward de Bono, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, and last but not least, Rowan Atkinson a.k.a Mr. Bean.
