sunshine

morningside crescent

At the little park across from Greater London House.

Sometimes - like this particular flower, on this particular day - it hits me to my heart, how fleeting life is. I shot this on the first day of June, 2010, and as I post this, this particular flower, I'm guessing, no longer exists. It's just some decay. It is gone.

sea

Oh, goodness, haven't posted on my sweet blog for way too long. I promise you, dear little blog, not to neglect you, and go back and fill in May and the start of June.

Meanwhile: beach, somewhere in the British Virgin Islands. February 2009.

wisteria lane

Actually, the road is called Wetherby Gardens, and it's around the corner from home. South Kensington, London. May 2010

also on wisteria lane

Also called Wetherby Gardens, around the corner from home. South Kensington, London. May 2010

can't get enough of that wisteria stuff

As before. And after. London, May 2010

wistful

Caught all of these walking home from the cinema with my husband. Just a house around the corner, on Wetherby Gardens. I love spring in London, it can be heartbreakingly beautiful. Poignant. Wistful.

South Kensington. May, 2010.

variations in pink and green

One of my favourite colour combinations. Shot in Kensington Gardens, near the Albert Memorial. April 2010

under the willow tree

We have a favourite spot, facing the water of the Serpentine, in Hyde Park. Under this willow tree. Photographed April 2010

may day

Love the whole idea of May Day. They think it goes back to Roman times, and Flora, the Goddess of Flowers, but I bet it's earlier than that. I bet it goes back to the beginning of time.

It's May! It's May. The lusty month of May. Time for celebration: we survived the winter. I just pray the wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico survive the spring, and clever minds can work out a way to stem the oil spill.

Shot in Hyde Park, London. April 2010.
