Falling

This park is one of the main reasons we chose this house.  It's a block and a half from our front door.  It's a massive, gorgeous park (one of only eight royal parks in London).  We drive through it daily to school, church, etc.  It's also home to a large deer population, descendants of the deer that King Henry VIII hunted (unsuccessfully :) when he lived in Hampton Court Palace just adjacent to this park.  It's mating season now, and the deer are very active.  We can hear their loud mating grunts (I can hear it now as I type) from inside our house a block and half away from the park gates!

Right now the park is hitting its autumnal glory, in a full array of autumn colours.  Not an hour off the plane from Dublin we stopped in the park on the way home for a little evening frolic in the leaves.

The one shot I could get out of my very (near) teen full of angst.


I'm feeling a bit lazy this year on the Christmas card front.  Don't be surprised if these end up doing the job.
