A close up of the carvings.

This building is across from bus stop that Catherine takes most days.
It unfortunately is in a rundown part of town.
I was nervous taking my ($$) camera out in this neighborhood as London has a high percentage of
homeless and poor people. Catherine blocked any prying eyes and I tried to be as stealthy as possible
I find that most people tend to look down while in crowds, I tend to look up and was glad I did.
This building was stunning. I would have loved to have seen it when it was first built

I did a double take when I saw this lovely bird...

Northern Cardinal

Huh...you don't see that everyday

Luckily the animals that Catherine has seen are much smaller and far less
dangerous

 Part of the Thames River that meanders all over London. The bike path (pictured below) runs along side the river,
which Catherine used on many occasions to get to school
