Fall
So I guess it shouldn't be a surprise, but fall is here. Like every other year, the leaves are starting to change colors, yet it is still a beautiful sight.
today I went the long way to school and took a few pictures as I walked through Hyde Park.
(That is the horse path on the left of the sidewalk.)
As the weather has gotten a bit colder, the parks haven't been quite as busy. Today the sun was out and so where lots of people.

Richmond Park
With a lighter class schedule this fall, I've found a few more free mornings to ride my bike than last year. While the parks around London can be super busy bordering on unpleasant during a nice weekend, mid-week they feel well utilized but a bit more spacious. Today was a nice day to be in the park.
This morning it was cold enough to see your breath as I rode the 25 minutes across town to Richmond Park. It was a good reminder that despite the sunny skies Fall is on the way.
Once in the park, it is easy to forget that you are still inside a major city.
At other times you feel the proximity of city. Seeing the large herd of deer (the website claims there are over 600 in the park) living a comfortable life in the shadow of tall buildings is still a bit strange.

Not Dead Yet
Ok, so it has been a while….
I’m back in London and am getting prepared for another semester of classes; although, this time around I’m doing a few things differently.
Last year I spent most of my time riding in parks and never ventured much into the country side. It isn’t that it never happened, but it just wasn’t part of the plan.
The last two weeks, I’ve joined a group that rides out of the city and have gotten in 4+ hours on the bike, none of which was doing laps around a park. This has been great. It also helps that the weather has been amazing both days.

which is a bit nicer than the view out of my study room
