Flowers in Hyde park

18 comments


Yippee I`m indoors because its raining,so with time to spare I`ve been sorting out some photo,s I took on a recent weekend in London.Whilst there we had a wander through Hyde Park,Kensington Palace gardens(the apartments were closed but they were still charging same price if one went inside,obviously we never) had a boat trip on the Thames and spent most of the Sunday at the Tower,you know the usual tourist things.,crammed as much in as we could,it was a grand weekend,I was really impressed with the flower displays so thought I`d show some of my pics……


Obviously I have loads more but these are just some of my favourites. The main reason for going was a visit to the Albert Hall to see The King and I which was grand.


Had to include Albert Memorial as well because I think its lovely. My daughter and I had a fabulous weekend,hope you like my pics………

I'm originally from London, where I was born & lived the first 15 years of my life till my family moved. Since then I've hardly spent more than a couple of days at the same time there. As often as not I'm only there passing thru on my way elsewhere. I've acted as a kind of "tourist guide" on occasions, first to my fiancée, now my wife, & to my wife's family & to one of our sons a few years ago. My wife is Spanish & our "kids", (now 30-year-old adults), were born in Spain.

Loved your pics & tried to identify as many of the plants as I could. Isn't good that Herons make such good subjects to photograph, they spend so much of their time immobile on one leg!

That's a lovely, colourful blog Lincslass. Nice picture of the Royal Albert Hall! Haven't been there for about 14 years. My dad aleays told me it was named after him (Albert not Hall) but I've got a feeling he was having me on! What do you think! My mum's name isn't Victoria!
