This is a Halloween decoration in a yard in town.  Wouldn't you hate to be beside a real spider that size? Yes, the orange would be the "eyes"!

Loved the ladybird, TW. The raccoons are cute too, ClaraSue, though I'm glad I don't have to share a house and garden with them. If the bells of this steeple were audible where you were born, you're a true Cockney. It's St Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside, London.

Cute racoons!  Took this pic of a Barbet on the fence in the back yard. He lives in a tree stump just to the left of where he is sitting. I love the sound they make.

This is the centre of Golders Green by the main crossroads.  When I used to go to Barnet it was one of the places with a 'no photography' sign, but I think now mobile phones have cameras they found it impossible to enforce. I got plenty at Brentford to make up for it though (none digital mind you).

satguru, why wouldn't you be allowed to take photos? Security reasons?

Piqero, I think that is a type of Feverfew. You eat the leaves to alleviate migraines, I do not know much else. http://www.erowid.org/herbs/show_image.p...7e0380_disp.jpgHong Kong Park has a great conservation area, there is a damp and a dry section. This, as you see, is a Bromeliad.

 Isn't it funny how kitties can just blend in with the furniture whenever they want to? And you just know they're sitting there contentedly watching you hunt frantically for them. Like they're saying "I'm right here, you silly human, open your eyes..."

Yep, that's them and and thanks for the identification. I was certain from the fairly strong though pleasant lemon/spearmint scent of the leaves that they were a type of herb. They seed themselves in my garden and I then transplant them into pots and borders. Maybe I'll look into adding them to salads or stews now that I know what they are  This is a typical southern English village scene, a nice old house by a quiet stream - and not in a flood prone area either!

This is Britain's first shopping mall, opened in 1976 and little changed besides numerous additional areas. Brent Cross:  Plus a row of red buses in front. I wonder if any of you have been here as well?

Odd isn't it? I recently noticed that the area outside our local shopping mall which runs alongside the canal in the city is also a non-dog, non-photography area too.
I had never heard of such a thing before.
Do you think the world is going a little mad? I can't see any good reason for it.

I think I was there when they opened the doors! Fenwicks was a favourite.
I was a student nurse at Edgware General at the time so not much money, but lots of window shopping.
