Okay, I probably wasn’t supposed to take this pic, although I have been to London a few times, I have never been to Windsor, and the private gardens are pretty freaking amazing. I didn’t trespass. I just leaned really, really, far over the wall to get this pic. Gorgeous huh? You can see why foxes choose to live in certain London parks. They are smart as foxes!
London is of course, old, historic, beautiful. It has gravitas.
But it is also for the birds,
animals, gardens,
and the people who care for them!
Like the birdkeeper and his cottage. A refuge for the birdman and his exotic birds was first established in 1612.
I love a town that established a place for a keeper of the birds 400 hundred years ago.
Plus, there are all the flowers.
Which is the way to London Town?
To see the king in his golden crown.
One foot up and one foot down.
To see the Queen in her silken gown.

Cheers to you from lovely London Town~

Cindy,
Multumesc din inima , si sper ca traducerea sa-ti permita sa percepi caldura pe care o resimte prietenia mea pentru tine.
Interesanta, nu ? am in vedere reciprocitatea/perceptia cuantica pe care o resimtim prin opera noastra spirituala.
In fiecare dimineata, astept vizita ta neprecupetita. 🙂

So happy you snapped that first photo. Love that garden, WOW!
I personally wanted to find the secret gate and hang out all day in there~
I wouldn’t have blamed you, Cindy. The Brits sure know gardens, and that was one beautiful garden.

Vielen danke mein Freund und Froliche Wochenende!
Just as well you didn’t lean over too far. If you fall in, by tradition, the royal worms are allowed to nibble your toes. 🙂
Laughing, plus I met have to visit the royal mews….. 😉
Pictures of grand castle gardens always remind me of the song Empty Garden by Elton John.
He is such a huge talent. That song often reminds me of the abandoned Holler orchards and gardens. We have almond trees, camellias, roses, orange trees, pride of madeira, the list goes on and on, planted by some loving gardener, probably an orchard worker who live on site. He is long gone, but 50 years or so later, his trees are still produciing. I think of him when I pick a camellia or an orange and I think of this song.
that’s it, I am sold on a vacation to the U.K.!!
Oh, you won’t regret it! Please post about it when you go~
Cindy – I cannot and I do mean cannot get enough of your pictures of London. I almost missed these beautiful garden pictures. I would have been so distressed. They are absolutely the best. I never felt as though I was working when in London, I always had such a swell time there. It was also where I met my dear friend ‘Mike’ who became my deputy. We still talk every Sunday for a couple hours or so. We’ve often talked about ‘when we return’ but we do that about any number of places – but London is one of our favorite cities. . .probably because of the initial memories. [There, i’ve analyzed myself]!
You analyze yourself beautifully Sheri, in all seriousness, and in serious ways you do, which is remarkable about you. Very few people can do this with themselves.
I’ll take this to my therapist. 🎈
Please do! <3
I LOVE England – wish I was there, in fact will be there in the Fall. As always your pictures are beautiful, love the nursery rhyme!
How lovely that you will be there in the fall! Can’t wait to hear about your experience~
Cindy…..Cindy!!!! Okay, let me catch my breath. lol It’s no secret that Ginger Brooke and I have been obsessed with England, forever. This post was truly heart touching for us. I don’t think you’ll ever understand what your pictures mean to people who’ll never have the chance to see these things. You allow us into your world and to take part in all the beauty that you’re able to see through the lens of that brilliant camera of yours. Thank you my dear. This was a true delight for both of us. Sharing this now!!!! <3 xoxoxo
You have no idea how much I value friends like you two, and blogging because it brings us together. I am so lucky to meet creative, talented, fun and intelligent people like you two. You enhance my life. Hugs & gratitude to you both! <3 <3
Very charming. Oh to have a gardener!
Well in the Queen’s case, I expect she has a legion of them! 😉
I felt a need to grab my tiara for this post. Not sure why though. 😉
Oh, you have a tiara???? Can I borrow it? I think it will interest the birds when I garden.
Yes – After-all – I am queen of my castle! LOL
And – you are most certainly welcome to borrow it any time. 😀
I plan to take you up on it. I want to be like Eva Gabor in Green Acres (google it and you’ll see what I mean!)
Your pics are amazing …Being an illiterate in photography I can only admire them….
You are the fartherst thing from illiterate in any subject but I do appreciate your words very much. Cheers to you & thank you too~
Cindy, Grateful for all your Likes. I was shut down the other week for quoting Atmananda – complaint from his grumpy son – deleted ~ 450 Blogs and have started new short ones without quotes, pretty much. Longer, similar Blogs started under jstiga, jpstiga, and jpsstiga on Googles blogspot – with some graphics, entitled “Nonduality & Science”, “Sages thru the Ages” [many quotes], “Sages thru the Ages 2”. 🙂
Sorry to hear about your difficulties & best of luck in your new ventures~
Gorgeous photos! I love the architecture in London – such a unique style to it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you more for the kind appreciation!
