A couple of weekends ago I was feel antsy and had to get out and stretch my legs. I ended up walking to Holland Park, one of my favorite places in London. The day was cloudy and rain threatened. But that didn’t deter me. And thank goodness since my stroll was lovely. Here is one of the photos from the Japanese garden.

The other day, I felt the same way and wondered to a bench underneath one of Florida’s palm tress and made out pictures from the clouds. This place looks idyllic 🙂
That does sound like a nice little retreat to recharge the batteries. I love watching the clouds.
How green! I have not been there for ages. Does Richard Branson still live close by?
That I don’t know…there are a lot of nice houses in the area but I haven’t looked into who lives where. Would his house have a blue plaque?
I can see why that’s one of your favorite places in London!
It is such a great place to escape the city without leaving the city.
Really nice picture; it beautiful and looks so peaceful there.
It is a wonderful place to take in.
Lovely, and if that’s what it looks like on a cloudy day I can’t imagine the splendor on a clear one! 🙂
I’ll have to go back on a nice day!
Lovely!
Thanks!
Beautiful photo! 🙂
Thanks Robyn!
WOW! So beautiful, like a poem… What a beautiful colours… Thank you dear TBM, with my love, nia
Thanks Nia!
This is a wonderful photo, as always! I love the reflection the pond makes.
I have a fondness for water and reflections.
It is so lovely and peaceful! I like the reflection in the water, too…
Thanks Meg!
Wow. Awesome “Paradise” in London. Great photo which makes me to wait for summer coming.
I’m pretty excited for my first summer in London. I hope summer arrives soon for you.
good garden for strolling…
Indeed it is and for thinking!
Looks as if it could be very peaceful there. Calm. Quiet. 🙂
It is a wonderful spot if you want some peace and quiet.
Beautiful photo – I like the reflection in the water. I have been having the same feeling – a need to get out of the house, but not sure where I want to go. I will use your walk as inspiration.
I hope you enjoy…walks are a great way to explore.
I’ve heard a lot about Holland Park and this teaser does say a lot about its beauty. Thanks for sharing this. 🙂
If you are ever in the area I recommend it!
Lovely and serene!
I agree Madhu!
Beautiful! So peaceful. I thought it had the feel of a Japanese garden, and then your description confirmed it. I just love how well manicured and taken care of they are.
They know what they are doing…I love wandering through this one and others.
Beautiful… looks sooooo tranquil!!! 🙂 **
It is Xandre. Thanks!
Love the reflections in a place beautiful for reflections.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I kept staring at the reflections…I loved it.
