I think this is the third time that I’ve referenced Camden Passage. I love areas like this.

Saturday Sculptures from Kew Gardens

Posted on June 7, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…the Queen’s Beasts

At Kew Gardens there are a series of 10 sculptures that were created by James Woodford, OBE, RA in 1958.

According to the Kew Gardens website:

Each of these ten statues represent the heraldic badges of Queen Elizabeth II’s royal ancestors. They are Portland stone replicas of the plaster models that were placed outside the Westminster Abbey annex for the Queen’s coronation in 1953. — Read on www.kew.org/kew-gardens/visit-kew-gardens/trails/art-architecture-trail

RDP Tuesday: Cattails

Posted on June 7, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to Dr. Katherine at Ragtag Daily Prompts for hosting Tuesday’s Theme of Cattails https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2022/06/07/rdp-tuesday-cattail/

I love cattails and find them especially interesting when they burst open to reveal the seeds inside. I usually find that they open up in the fall but I came across these on one of my walks more than a week ago.

Monday Murals – June 7, 2021

Posted on June 7, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…..a new perspective of some old favourites

Funny when I took these shots last week I thought they looked refinished. Somehow they seemed brighter and even new but when I checked a previous Monday Mural they were the same ones. These photos, however, are from a slightly different perspective. Maybe I’m feeling nostalgic because the building they’ve been painted on has been sold and there’s a chance that it may come down. That of course means that these iconic murals will be lost forever.
