PPDesigns Photography & Jumpy Frog Handmade Goodies: Smell the Flowers with Me!

I get so excited when I can see the sun here in London. The winter has felt like it has been going on FOREVER, but now the days are getting brighter and longer and it feels so good!

The weather was so beautiful the other day it inspired me to get out of the house, get my camera out and take a little walk to Regents Park. I spent my time taking in the wonderfully warm sun and admiring the pretty flowers that are starting to bloom!

Gosh it felt like ages since I last went for a stroll around Regents Park and I have no idea why! It is really beautiful there. Gorgeous gardens, lakes, swans and a happy carefree atmosphere to it as people jog, lazily stroll or just sit down on the green grass for a little picnic.

It made me realise that I really only have a few months left in London!! A bit sad, a bit nostalgic but it did remind me that I really ought to take advantage of all the great places here to enjoy while I can. Go back and visit those places just one more time and make sure i 'capture' the moment too on film (well digital film!).

Well I've scattered a few flowers through this post so you can enjoy a bit of Regents Park too - please smell the gorgeous flowers with me!

Anonymous said...: Wow, PP! Those flowers are SOOOO GORGEOUS!!! I wish I could take a walk with you! I'm terribly sorry that I've been completely out of the blogging loop lately. I have been really busy because we decided to put our house on the market 8 months earlier than our original plan and I've been crazy up to my ears in home improvement projects when I have free time. Thank you for always visiting my blog and leaving a comment! I seem to always be able to count on you, Sophie and Blaze for visits and that makes me SMILE, SMILE, SMILE! Enjoy those flowers and SMELL THEM FOR ME!!! :); 3 May 2008 at 01:54
