Took a wonderful early morning four mile walk today. It was a little chilly cold but not raining so I’m not complaining. We started out at the Paddington Basin of the Regents Canal near Edgware Road and walked towards Little Venice ~ an especially tranquil and pretty part of London.
We came across the realistic looking “commuter” statue:
Regents Canal is beautiful year round ~ even on a cold, grey winter’s day. The cloudy morning seemed to make any type of color pop and I especially liked the vibrant blue bridges as a contrast to the grey weather.
There was a definite chill in the air but I noticed a few hints of spring along the way. Gave me hope that warmer weather is on its way.
Here are my duck and dog photos:
London has a lot of fit people. No matter what time of day or night I go out, I see walkers, runners or cyclists. Although I’m usually reluctant about taking photos of people, I’ve noticed athletes don’t seem to have a problem with me taking their photo. Can’t blame them for wanting to show off their fit bodies. One woman ran by me and actually asked if I wanted her in the photo. She was ready to pose.
Wonder if any of those runners/cyclists rewarded themselves with a pastry from Le Pain de Quotidien like I did!
I love the blue bridges AND the individuality of the canal boats (wonder what the story behind the skull is?).

London is a fun city to explore! Hope you get a chance to visit. Thanks for stopping by my blog. My camera is a Canon (Rebel) XSi. I used a 75-300mm for all the photos on this post except for the daffodils which were taken with an 18-55mm lens.
