Hyde Park: Taking a gander by the Serpentine

March 6, 2015 by Beth Shepherd

Lake at Hyde Park

Three years ago, visiting London, we spent a sunny afternoon strolling through Hyde Park. When we spied a Greylag goose frolicking in the Serpentine, we just had to stop and watch his antics. What a grand time he was having splashing, flapping, rolling over, and diving into the water. His goose friend (gal pal?), standing a mere few feet away, appeared to be unaware or else she just didn’t care. Maybe she wanted a few moments of peaceful meditation in the sunshine. As for the gander…

You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
