Photography in the Park

Well, today was my first day of classes. But I'm going to wait to cover that until I've experienced them all.

Today after class, I went to Hyde Park with my friend Shira who was part of the Sherlock crew last night. She invited her friend Sara and we set off, ignoring the ominous clouds that were creeping on the horizon. However, it's London, so we figured that it was lucky we had any sun!

The park is absolutely gorgeous! I am very jealous of Will and Kate having it for their back yard. Sadly, we didn't see them, but there were a wide variety of dogs and people to observe. I got some fantastic photographs that I'm incredibly proud of, which is my main reason for posting this entry. While we were by the pond, a family showed up to feed the birds, so I was able to get some absolutely fantastic shots.

I loved this puppy

This game was "how close can I get to the swan before it tries to hurt me?"

My favorite shot of the day!

Feeding the birds!

More sneaking up on wildlife

We also stumbled upon the Elvin Tree, a beautiful piece of art in the middle of the park. The artist had carved and painted faeries right into the tree. The tree itself has since died, but the carving is preserved. It is so beautiful, I think I'm in love!
