The sun shines on Richmond Park

Halleluja !!! There was a funny yellow thing in the sky today.. what a beautiful morning. I decided to skip off a couple of hours work and have a walk in Richmond Park.. I was on a deer hunt!! .. . . but first of all this heron demanded attention. I am so disappointed that I could not get him pin-sharp.. but time was limited and I had to snap fast. The colour of the grass, with the slight low-level mist was magical.. as was the tree stump his majesty was posing on!!
It's a beautiful park at any time of the year, but autumn is wondrous!! Plus I wondered why I had not had the sense to bring a bike.. it was a long walk.. and my feet were wet!
but the deer were in their favourite spot just beyond sheen gate. . . . Bambi darted past first . . .



and then I got watching this stag.. he was a randy old bugger, trying it on with all the girls and using his muscles if any of the boys dared wander anywhere near!


this is my 'Not tonight darling, I've got a headache' photo

Come on give me a break, I haven't taken a photo for weeks!!
and just as I got back to the car, I spotted Narcissus here! Mirror mirror on the wall (wall??) and all that.. and eating pond weed too I guess!! Lets hope for more sun, I have such good ideas for a photo on Saturday!!
