Beauty and the beast

Spotted this host of golden daffodils on the infamous Redbridge roundabout.  The contrast between the flowers and the concrete flyover led me to name this post accordingly.  I still remember the time before there was a roundabout here.

Same view - different settings

Glorious sunny Spring day in Greenwich Park.  Enjoyed the versatility of taking a compact camera with zoom and panoramic capabilities.  Same view - different shots!

The local 'flicks'...

Since the Gants Hill Odeon closed in 2002, the South Woodford Odeon is the only local cinema.

Pond life

Bright sunny morning in Thorndon Country Park (just outside of Brentwood town).  The reflection of the blue sky within the overgrown pond caught my eye.

Happy New Year

On walking across Hampstead Heath my eye was caught by the frost glistening on the fallen leaves.  
Here's to a good New Year…...

Happy Hanukah….

Sufganiyot (Doughnuts) will be eaten by the score during the 8 days of Hanukah.  I'll be on the lookout for those infused with creme patisserie instead of jam. Delicious!!!
