Bushy Park and Claremont Gardens..

Didn't know what to do today... almost at the point of getting in the car I was undecided.. so headed off to Bushy Park....

The light was awful.  On the pond, the surface -  was water but underneath still frozen.

A posy Grey Heron..

After a wander around the pond .. I set of intending to call in at Polesden Lacy on the way home.. but on sudden impulse went to Claremont.. got a parking space so had an excellent scone there.. and a wander around the lake..

Jackdaws on the tea-room roof!

Admiring the lake..

Wishing Mr Ponders was here to enjoy the water..

Pleasant wander before heading off home ..
