The Happy Prince and elephants

[fuchsoid]

After a weekend of sudden and rather unseasonal heat*, that left me as lively and energetic as one of those floppy plastic toys you throw against a window to see them flip down the surface, the temperature fell sharply last night, leaving the weather today pretty much perfect. So, on the pretext of searching out locations for number two g-d's

It's been years and years since I've had a proper wander in Hyde Park.

I've always thought the Albert memorial was so over the top with the gilding but I've always had a certain fondness for it.
Looks like a bull to me!

The cygnets are sweet and make me think of the Ugly Duckling story.

What a nice walk. I can't remember the last time I went in Hyde Park. Love the elephants, I wonder if they ared travelling ones like the cows, which we had many of for a short time, in Edinburgh when I lived there.

We had the cow parade thing here several years ago, but these are much cuter. I don't think it's moving on thought - from the website it looks as if they are being auctioned off at the end. If I had a really large garden I'd be tempted to buy one!

That's a pity, I'd go and see them if they went to Cambridge. They auctioned the cows off eventually, too.

I think it's the first time I've ever walked right across the park. I did have a stab at finding the gallery last year, but gave up before I got to it.
