Valentines Mansion & Gardens

Valentines Mansion in Valentines Park is a favourite local destination of mine since it was refurbished several years ago.  The walled gardens nearby are also well worth a visit.

Poser…...

Is this my best side?  The wildlife in Valentines Park are quite used to having their photograph taken!

Anyone for Pitch & Pitch?

Brings back fond memories of playing 'pitch and putt' with friends and family in Valentines Park.  Shame it is now closed.

Still, had to smile at the sign ……….. I've never heard of 'pitch & pitch'!

Hay Fever

The wild flower border at Clayhall Park is in bloom - not as good as last year (IMHO) but still adds a touch of colour to my morning walk.

Comes with own parking space...

This golden three-wheeler is certainly eye-catching as you walk or drive along the Woodford Avenue.

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - Take 2

Certainly a great place to capture shapes and colours…………

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - More of a Sunday morning stroll than a photo shoot.  However took a compact camera (without a view finder) and snapped away although difficult to see images on screen.  Nevertheless some pleasing shots were captured……

My fellow walkers may just spot themselves in this photo……
