Let the Games Begin

London Olympics 2012

London is a buzz 

celebrating the worlds greatest athletes!

The spirit shown in the first photo below is just an example 

of the bold, wonderful team spirit being demonstrated 

by people from across the globe 

that are in London to cheer on their home team.

This posting will continue to grow with the posting

of new photos over the course of the Olympic games.

Olympic Spirit at the Hyde Park venue.....

Mounted Police - nice way to get around town these days :)

London: Old & New

Tower Bridge & City Hall

While visiting the Tower of London this spring we toured the White Tower 

and I found this great vantage point looking across the Thames

with a view of both Tower Bridge and City Hall.

I loved the windows in White Tower framing the contrasting

views of London with the historic Tower Bridge and the modern City Hall building.

The cloudy day provided added interest for me.

Award Winning Images...

Day in the Life of Marylebone

The two images above were selected as winners in the 

Art in Marylebone

Day in the Life of Marylebone 2012 

photo competition.

The competition is focused around St. George's Day

and the photographs have to be taken in Marylebone over St. George's Day weekend.   

There were over 250 entries and I was fortunate enough to have 
two of the three images I submitted chosen as winners!

For more information on Art in Marylebone and to see all the winners 

check out the Art in Marylebone website.
An exhibit of the winning images took place in June and
a Day in the Life of Marylebone 2012 book 
was published including the two images above.

Seeing Purple

British Lavender

It's been a while since my last post so wanted to try an get back 

on track with my postings.  This image is from a recent trip 

to Mayfield Lavender.  What a beautiful place!  

The lavender is currently in full bloom and, as you can see, there are acres of lovely lavender.  

If you have the chance I highly recommend a visit.
