I think it showed how interactive it was — I mean, we really got to touch that owl — no one-finger-on-the-back type deal!

Loving the owl picture, even if my huge hand takes up most of the shot ;)

But his feathers were really soft.

Thanks, Fimb. The macro setting did a good job on that one! And I have more of those morris dancer photos where they’re waving the sticks about and they really do look like they’re about to beat each other!

Fantastic.. The shot of the bee appearing is great. And yeah, those people dancing were very amusing – oh to have the kind of self confidence needed for that.
And nice morris dancer description.. *laughing* No mention of wierdness at all!

I was originally going to say crazy people surrounded by crazier people, but I was trying to be diplomatic. If only I could recreate that moment — those were some incredibly enthusiastic hippies.

Hi Francine – lovely shot of the bees and the wooden May Flowers.

Yes a video was certainly needed for the err “wandering musicians” as you say it was one of the stranger moments of the day.

Glad you enjoyed it. I went yesterday with four other friends but we went quite late and did more of the usual Kew stuff – Palm House, wandering by the lake & river, rhodendron dell, Japanese stuff – so you’ll deffo have to come back again to take in Kew’s more “normal” but beautiful stuff!
