Childhood walk

by

I’ve been walking on Strand on the Green since I was a child and each time I experience new things, be it the tide coming in or going out while watching the wildlife on the river. Recently, I’ve been intrigued by the flowers within this environment, the rhythm, shape and the form they take within their own right!

It’s tea time!

by

At the lake of Chiswick House & Gardens, a coot family has made a nest. The parents are finding food and feeding the little baby. That’s a heartwarming moment.

Wild Goose Chase

by

At Chiswick House & Garden, a swan has been chasing the canada geese out of the lake. However when the swan turns around and swims away, the Canada geese return to the water again. The chase keeps going on and on.

Lilyana

by

Tender is the night and her beauty gives out the scent of 100 roses. The pink and purple cotton candy-esque skies dye the atmosphere and mesmerize. The depth of field has changed – the eyes have already blurred out the surroundings and the iris has its focus on you – a reminiscence of our first kiss.

Nature’s Window

by

I like the way that the hedging beautifully frames the willow and the river. My favourite tree so beautiful and sad at same time. (Credit – Paola Zekkou)

Pokers in the Sky

I loved the way that the plants reach up into the sky with the church spire in the background.

A Flower on the Fence

by

I took this photo when I had just moved to London from California. I enjoy walking, and lived by a lake before I moved here, so I was pleased to discover the Thames Path in Chiswick. I noticed a lone flower sitting on a fence on one of my walks, and the juxtaposition between nature and a man-made object caught my eye and I snapped this photo. Reflecting on the photo made me appreciate the lush nature within Chiswick, and the serenity of the town is always a breath of fresh air after a day out in central London.
