icepixieBajillions of pictures here, mostly from London, but also some from Exeter and one leftover from St. Ives (thanks, Ellen!).
ETA, June 2006: Go here instead, as these links don't work anymore.
The view out my, Ellen, and Whitney's window at the hotel.
The much nicer view from Chandra's window.
More of the view, with cool tree losing its leaves.
Chimney pots!
Stairs going up from the foyer to reception at the hotel.
Front of the hotel. See the dormer windows waaaaay up high? That's where we were.
Ellen and me petting the hotel courtesy of Chandra.
I wasn't aiming to focus on the pretty sky, but there it is anyway.
A Victorian outgrowth on a building near the hotel. It's like some kind of tumor.
Churchyard at St. Mary Abbott's.
Alley behind the church.
Looking way, way up at the church's steeple.
The Elephant and Castle!
Christmassy decorations in the High Street Kensington tube station.
Einstein monkey!
Monkey with a handlebar moustache.
A rather rotund meerkat playing king of the mountain.
Giraffe peeking out at us.
Silhoutted giraffe.
Red river hogs, quite possibly the ugliest pigs that ever lived.
See, look at the ugly. They're so ugly they're cute. And they totally stole some ears offa the orcs from LOTR.
Penguins!
Random sand crane that liked the penguin pool.
The back of the sand crane.
Penguins are really more fish than bird...
I have no idea what kind of bird this is, but it's really strange.
Pelicans.
Flamingos shivering in the frigid air.
The call of the wild. Or, rather, a neat effect with a tiger face, a pane of glass, and my camera.
This tiger was hungry.
This tiger was a fop. He was totally posing.
Awww, they're just big kitty cats.
Big kitty cats with very sharp claws, that is.
Henpecked lion!
Baa.
Ellen has fun with the sheep.
I also have fun with sheep as I plot to steal its coat.
Me just prior to the bovine snot attack.
Camels looking very smug.
The Broad Walk through Regents Park.
More Broad Walk. We stayed on this for quite a while.
Pretty fountain.
Bigger, prettier fountain.
They have a street named Petty France. No, there's no international rivalry here at all...
St. James's Park.
A very cold pigeon.
Shot of the lake in the park,
Chandra and Whitney in the leaves.
A gnarled tree.
That pond looks so peaceful.
Baby willow tree.
Building with cool cupola seen through trees.
Whitney looking pensive.
Not so much an upside down tree as a taking-over-the-world tree.
It's a hobbit hole!
Heeeere goosy-goose...I'm gonna have you for Christmas dinner...
Heh. London has dentics. Hee.
Whitney getting up to mischief.
Kitty loooves me. So much that she has to show it by sitting on my neck while Ellen laughs.
But now the tables are turned!
I still love you, kitty.
Me being attacked by scary monsters.
Me being Cinderella.
Me on the beach in St. Ives.

This weekend was one of the few times it's felt like autumn here. I miss the big showy maples we have at home and at Kenyon, that are bright yellow for two months in the fall.
