Big, beautiful old trees are abundant in St. James’s Park in central London, UK. The climate here is more moderate than in London, Ontario with many trees still with their leaves. This park is the oldest Royal Park in London and is home to ducks, swans, geese and lots of other birds. I will post a variety of images I took on my trip in the coming weeks.
