Black Panther

We just saw the most amazing, awesome, wonderful movie ever.  I would say that it just became my favorite Super Hero, Marvel Comics, movie of all times.  The story line, the acting, the feeling I left with, everything is wonderful!!  Have you seen it?  If yes, what are your thoughts, with no spoilers, please!  P.S. For those who haven’t seen it, stay thru the credits!

My Shadow

Esher, England

It was a damp, cold night, as I left Wheatsheaf’s pub on High Street and went out into the wet night.  This was not an unusual evening for London as I always carry an umbrella with me, just incase the weather turns.  Now, as I held on to my umbrella I faced the storm.  At times I thought I would lose my umbrella as gusts of wind would try and take it out of my hand.  I walked faster thru the driving rain and dark cold night.  As I turned a corner, the on coming headlights fell upon me creating my shadow on the lawn next to me.  I snapped this photo just for you, as I hurried along, thru the pouring rain.  Finally, I slipped into my flat, away from the billowing wind and downburst.  Warm, I was warm, I was dry and home at last!

Kew Gardens

Richmond, England

On a very wet day, Craig and I went to the Kew Gardens.  They are beautiful!  There are large green houses with tons and tons of flowers!  We went into one that was amazing and so big that we didn’t even see all of it.  There were columns with different flowers growing all over them.  This one has more tropical flowers on it, others have orchids on them.  Their orchid collection is gorgeous, I have never seen such large and colorful ones.  AMAZING place to visit, definitely want to go there again!

SO, what do you do when someone kicks you in your side and you injure some ribs AND you are far from home?  Well, you pray you find a good Chiropractor!  Luckily for me, I did and she was awesome.  Just two visits and I am nearly back to normal, well, NEARLY…each day is a bit better than the previous!

In Bloom

I was so surprised how much nicer the weather is here in England, than I was expecting. It’s February and the flowers are in bloom. Crocuses are up as are the Daffodils. From what we were told, it is Winter here from December to January; Spring, February to June; Summer, July & August; Fall, September to November. So, if someone likes Spring, this is the place for them!

Bike, Wall, Tree and House

Esher, England

Along the road I trod, watching all I past. A bike came along and as it wizzed by it gave me the opportunity to snap this shot. I love the bike as it took it’s passenger along, the brick wall with it’s various colors, the tree that is so big & barren and the house beyond that is so British.

Christ Church Esher

Church yards can be amazing, particularly in Europe where their cemeteries are located in the yard of the church.  I loved walking around this church yard, looking at some of the interesting grave stones.

Little Ben

London, England

After seeing WICKED, an awesome play, we walked to a restaurant for dinner and passed this really cool clock at Victoria Station.  It is situated close to the theater where HAMILTON is playing.  Sadly, HAMILTON is booked out and has been for months.  A few days after taking this photo, we were on a tour of London and the cab driver, Michael, told us that the name of this clock is Little Ben.  It was erected in 1892 and was a gift from France. It mimics the famous clock tower, Big Ben.

British cabbies are clean, sparkling, fun and unique.  The majority are plain black, yet others have bright colors with ads on them.  We walked by this line of cabbies, waiting for customers to wave them down.
