I love London and I love travel. I like flowers also so expect some photos of them too.

Stumbled across a tiny forest ritual on a tree stump near London 🌿🪵✨ Nature’s art, or woodland fairies at play? #ForestFinds #MiniatureWorld #LondonWoods #FoundArt #NatureMystery
A stump-altar in the woods hosts a small gathering of figures, feathers, and forest fragments, mid-whisper.

There are Pelicans in London. They have lived in St James's Park since 1664 when they were given as a gift to Charles II #London #Birds #History #travel

Beavers have been reintroduced to London - at Ealing. This was as close as we got to seeing them though! There are camera points for people to put their phones, so we can see how they change the topography of the area over time - very clever. #London #wildlife

Unusual street art near the Royal Festival Hall on Southbank in #London You can just make out the doorways, over which it is painted. #Streetart #Southbank #urban

This is the flower of the Pachira Aquatica or Guiana Chestnut. It is a full size tree and this particular one grows on a pavement in Rio. #Flowers #Travel #Rio #Tree

Nelson from Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. Taken from the roof of the Trafalgar Hotel. If you look closely you can just see an aeroplane in the background. #London #Travel #Statues

This is the flower of the Etlingera elator. It is also known as Torch Ginger. If I remember correctly, this one was growing just outside the city of Kota Kinabalu in Borneo #flowers #Asia

Ipomoea Purpurea, more often known as morning glory. It is illegal to cultivate in many parts of the world because it is so invasive. This one was growing in a hedgerow in the Algarve. #Flowers

I love hibiscus. This is a hibiscus rosa-sinensis, although I don't know the name for this particularly attractively coloured variety. I found it growing close to the ground near Whagarei on the North Island of New Zealand. #flower #newzealand

Alpinia purpurata aka Red Ginger. Growing wild on Hiva Oa in the South Pacific. This red bract is not actually the flower, it has a small, less ostentatious, white flower which grows off the bract. Sadly, I did not find any in flower while I was there. #flowerreport #flower

Storks in The Algarve near Silves. The collective noun for storks is apparently a muster. #birds
