Flower Power and the 60's Revisited

Today we went to Regent's Park to take photographs of flowers close-up. There were thousands of beautiful roses to choose from. We started out in the sun, but it rained intermittently throughout the day. Still, we all managed to get some great photographs, including some with raindrops on the flowers.
Next we went to Primrose Hill for a picnic lunch and some kite flying. I actually managed to keep my kite aloft for a while, although, as a fish, it seemed to prefer diving to flying at times. Some of the people who walked by must have wondered at so many adults out flying kites. Everyone had a good time trying and flying their kites.
Then we walked through some very nice residential neighborhoods to get to Abbey Road, where the Beatles album of the same title was produced. We saw the outside of the studio and the crosswalk in front of it where the album cover was photographed, as well as the wall where everyone writes their name when they come here. A few of our classmates left their autographs. Tonight we're going to see "Billy Elliot," the play which won so many awards in New York.
