I had lunch with a dear friend from Italy, Ilaria Silli! After lunch we walked along the River Thames, the swans were beautiful!

Kingston Upon Thames, England

After a great lunch with a dear friend, Ilaria Silli, we walked around Kingston Upon Thames.  It is a beautiful city with the River Thames going thru it.  Here I decided to take a rest and put my feet up!  Off to the right is Bentalls, a huge department store, it’s actually more of a mall and a big one at that!  I love all the red buses coming my way!

Nesting Swan

While Chelsea McKenzie Pacini​ and I were having lunch with Ilaria Silli​, (a great friend from Italy) I noticed people walking across a bridge and then they would stop and look down. So, after lunch we walked over there to see what they were looking at and this is it, a Swan sitting on her nest! I am assuming this is a female because generally the female sits on her nest for up to 6 weeks, the male however, can if necessary. I love swans, they are beautiful and so graceful in the water. Also, they mate for life which I think is really cool! They are beautiful!  CONGRATULATIONS go to Donald Donald E. Russell​ & Raewyn Lyes Viljoen​ for guessing correctly, at least the Swan, the nest is an added bonus!  Donald & Raewyn, send me your mailing address in a private message (Facebook) and I will send you your gift for guessing correctly!!

What a great walk and I found this pretty lake! It said: PRIVATE LAKE, NO SWIMMING, NO FISHING, but it didn’t say NO RELAXING, so I put my feet up, RELAXED & ENJOYED it!
