Hollow Pond, Walthamstow, East London, UK

[arkady]

It being a gloriously sunny day today, I took my youngest daughter Freda for a walk around Hollow Pond by Whipps Cross Hospital in Walthamstow, London (UK). As is my usual wont, I had my camera with me.





We came across a large circular patch of burnt gorse, about 20' in diameter. A few scorched flowers still clung to the twisted branches.







Larger versions of all photos are available on my Flickr.

Those are beautiful shots. I particularly love that gorse picture, but find all the water very restful as well.

Pretty.

It's so green in England already!

Lovely photos! I haven't seen a crested grebe in years.

Spring definitely came very early to the UK this year; bluebells have started blossoming all over the place, and my strawberry plants are all in bloom well over a month earlier than they ought to be. I suspect this is going to be a very hot summer.
