I saw this little chap in the greenery behind the bus stop at Turnham Green Terrace, one cold February morning. I found him rather endearing and totally oblivious to me. (Credit – Mark Jones)

Bloom
I’m immersing my hand into my boundless memories, and a familiar street strikes my soul. A street that surely has a counterpart all around the world. A bicycle will definitely pass through the street sprinkled with pink; further enhancing the meaning of this scene.

Staring each other out
Took this photo just outside my back door in the garden. Pigeons and Greater Spotted Woodpeckers are regular visitors.Found the situation particularly amusing as they visited my bird bath. (Andrew)

Blue Heron
I spotted this beautiful heron on a foggy morning, I love the blue/grey contrasted against the soft foggy light in the background. It was an amazing and inspiring morning to be out and feel completely alive in the park.

Time to Reflect
i was walking my dog in chiswick house when i saw a heron sitting by the water. i guess i just admired how patient and calm it was, just sitting and watching all the ducks swim by and the pigeons fly about frantically above the water, while it just stayed there, almost looking as though he was reflecting about the day that had just been. so i took a photo!

love birds
I have wanted a photo of the parakeets for a long time. I woke up and saw fog so quickly got dresses and went to CH to get some cool shots and was surprised to see these two, so it was a really great morning to go out. (Credit – Pamela Oliveras)
