St James' Park

[peteste]

Just in front of Buckingham Palace is the lovely St James Park, where I often spend my lunch hour walking around. It has an enormous artificial lake and is therefore a favourite of various waterfowl, and it also has a curious fascination for squirrels too, how are overly friendly to put it mildly - they seem to particularly enjoy posing for photographs Hope you enjoy the shots I got today




Oh and here's a gratuitous shot of... yes... a flower, in the garden of the Park Lodge. I took some photos of the Lodge today which I'm just not satisfied with, so I'll put one or two up of this fascinating little building soon (just to note because its full of straight lines the resizing of the flower pic looks a bit nasty on the page - best to click through and download the image if you want a proper look - full size it appears to be fine...)

And I was expecting a panoramic of the Newcastle stadium

That squirrel is finely balanced there!!!

It was a bit unnerving actually because they were all doing it - scrambling up and perching on top of the low fence, looking up at you with their beady little eyes... "Gimme your nuts!"

haha your squirrel shot is great, even if he was begging for food I do bet that the goose was too

Nice shots !
