Waiting

Not as it seems

Bet you didn't pick this as downtown London.  It may appear to be a model in the park, however is is the camouflage for the renovations taking place at the Dior Shop in New Bond Street (the posh part of the city).  I'm getting the hang of taking pics with the new phone.  Replacement camera a wee way off.  (see here)

Peacock Feathers

Peacock feathers adorn the luxury shopping area of Bond St this Xmas.

This post should also be a clue for those of you stuck on the sticky one from yesterdays post.

Gone for a Walk

Sure. Don't think I'd get to the end of the street, but aren't they pretty. Such lovely bright colours. What would you wear them with?
