Your posted comments add delight to our day. thanks, ^_^
A great series of photos with lovely memories from England - but for me the best is still the harbor and the yachts. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIn this heat I am definitely in slow mode. Love your sketches and seeing little vingnettes of your trip. It does take some time to get over the jet lag.
ReplyDeleteHappy travelling. Wonderful to see you pics from across the pond.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol. I just love your sketches and haiku. The snail sketch is one of my favorites. Love the London photos and the shot boats in the harbor. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your photos from your London travels, Carol and your art journals. Have a good week and Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteSome great shots. Love the museum entrance!
ReplyDeleteI like the facade of that art museum.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful London, a dream of mime.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo series! Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your beautiful week with a message for every day!
ReplyDeleteWil, BCWTeam
Lovely shots from my home country!
ReplyDeleteThe modern London (or Londonistan as many call it now) must have been a culture shock to you after the peace and quiet of MA.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun season for yachts .....beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of the snail sketch - they do get around at this time of year.
Enjoy your week Carol,
Ruby

Oh boy...to see the changing of the guard at the Palace...what a memory!! And the Queen's garden...beautiful. Now that museum I would certainly not want to miss THAT.
ReplyDeleteLove your choices for Y...yonder and the yachts! Also I'm really sad we didn't visit the Victoria and Albert Museum when we were staying just around the corner from it in 2003!
ReplyDeleteA week's treasures in one go! Wheeeeee!
ReplyDeleteI love the view of Queen's Park! It looks very nice place to stroll around. And I love your beautiful sketches as always!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
a see- and seaworthy post

I am loving your etegami pieces Carol! Looks like the weather cooperated perfectly during your London trip. Wonderful photos, art and haiku!
ReplyDeleteSlowly, simply and Sincerely. I like that.
ReplyDeleteLovely, I would like to be over Yonder aboard one of the yachts .
ReplyDeleteI love your snail and its message. Despite visiting London on numerous occasions I've never made it to the V&A, the lure of some other exhibitions have always got me first.
ReplyDeleteA great variety of shots from both sides of the pond today. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteoh that sunshine! makes me wish it was warmer here
ReplyDeleteAgain very beautiful pictures ! I have been in the Victoria and Albert museum years ago, when my son still lived in London.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I loved the photo taken at Queens Park.
ReplyDeleteSlowly,Simply and Sincerely is how one should live. But when we are younger we are always in a hurry and make more mistakes. We also miss out on so many wonderful things in life. However, a time comes in everyone's life to take things by the easy handle, relax, and take everything in ones stride. They result is peace of mind. This reminds me of the song = QUE SERA, QUE SERA = WHAT WILL BE WILL BE.
Best wishes
I like the photo of the guards on horseback in green behind the fence. perfect. you found the right photo for each day and meme...
