Yesterday our friends Jessica and Simon came to London and we met up with them in Greenwich Park in the afternoon. They have two lovely children-Miles and Polly. We took them to see the deer in the park. We saw deer, magpies on deer, squirrels, a fox trotting by, pigeons, crows and parakeets. I love seeing these birds, I never get over the excitement of the strange call they have and their exotic green colour as they fly past. They are all around this area and I am sure I will see one in the garden one day. I took a picture-very far away, cropped it, saturated the colour and poladroided it-and the bird came out a bit green! The balloons are from yesterday too-some sort of mini festival going on near the bandstand. The other photos are halloweeny type things-it is the Halloween party at A Fanciful Twist this weekend which is very exciting! If you like dogs you should visit Vanessa at her magical home today as she has just got the most beautiful puppy!P.S. I don't actually know what the last photo is of but I liked its ghostly effect.

Ooh I'd love to see parakeets!We don't live far from London and I have hopes that one day they'll spread a little further west! So good you had a pleasurable day - it sets you up for the days ahead, doesn't it?
Gorgeous parakeet - she really caught me eye(I own parakeets). Your photo work is so inspiring and I love your blog banner (is it new)? Wonderful work Sarah!
Fantastic shots -- and that parakeet! Colours that we can only hope to recreate in art, I bet. Love that last shot in particular.
Seems like your weekend was a good one. And yes, that little puppy of Vanessa's is some punkin!
Take care.

I think I saw an item on tv recently that said that parakeets are actually becoming a problem, as they are breeding so successfully in the wild, and there was talk of a cull .... but it would be so sad to lose such lovely birds!!
I'm another parakeet fan !
Sounds like a fun day! Great pictures!
Those last couple of photos have a very spoooky effect--wonderfully fun! The parakeet is lovely... Happy Day ((HUGS))
I hate it that we don't celebrate Halloween here. Your pictures are brilliant. You seem to be mastering poladroid really well.
PS. I enjoy looking at your work at the 'outside of myself' blog, too; very creative.
LOVE your photos today, especially the very clever bird photo at the top! Sounds like you had a lovely day. Ros
I like that last one as well - reminds me of the Titanic in the fog.
It amazes me that parakeets are just flying loose in London. It seems like a Dali painting or something.
I love your "deer, magpies on deer, and fox-trotting squirrels. Would love to have witnessed all that.
I can't wait to blog hop at Vanessa's halloween feast.
Love Renee xoxo
Lovely photos and I'm with you on the last one... perfect for Halloween! :)
Spectacular pics, the color pop out... Love the elegant parakeet.
PS: I miss London!
very spooky, those last ones.
I love your banner. I rather like Magpies tho' I know a lot of people don't.
It sounds as though you had a great time with your friends.
Just off to see Vanessa's new puppy.
Hi, Sarah! Wonderful photos. I like the "polaroid look" you gave them! :-)
