This beautiful spider has been with us for over a month now, and has become almost a pet. It maintains it's web just outside the window where we eat our meals.

GARDEN FLOWERS 2012
These lovely flowers bloom in my garden every year, with very little attention.

The Rutting Season
Walking in Bushy Park the other morning we came across this magnificent Red Stag gathering his "wives." He was crossing our path and having a good roar. Normally we would have walked through them, but one or two people were attacked during the rutting season last year, so we found an alternative path.

Orange Tip Butterfly (Bushy Park)
Walking in the rain yesterday we came upon this beautiful butterfly resting on the tip of a sprouting blackberry. It is a male Orange Tip butterfly. I assume it was newly hatched.

The Pastel Society Annual Exhibition, 2012
We had a very enjoyable visit to the Pastel exhibition at the Mall Galleries, last Thursday. It was a beautiful day. We walked from Waterloo across Hungerford Bridge, and the views were magnificent. The river was full of boats, mostly passenger craft with a few commercial barges. We walked on the east side to Charing Cross station then bordered the south side of Trafalgar Square to the Mall. ( On our return we walked down Northumberland Avenue and back on the west side of the bridge. It seemed a lot shorter and was certainly a lot less crowded.)
