Hi Everyone-

We're fortunate to have Betty & Christina with us in London. We've enjoyed the summer weather and even found a pint or two!

Enjoy!

August 16, 2009 - Amsterdam

















































Hi Everyone-

John and Cheri snuck away for a weekend in Amsterdam. The weather was fine and we really enjoyed the city with all the canals! the first day we took a boat ride and thought - my this is a big place. The second day we walked all over and realised it's quite a small place - just the canals go in circles!

The buildings were really interesting to look at and John shot some really cool art on them.
Enjoy!
Cheri & John

August 8, 2009 - A Walk in the Park - Richmond




























Hi


Everyone!

We finally had a day of summer! It was August 8th and it was a perfect summer day - 80 degrees and sunny with very little wind. It felt as if the whole world was out enjoying the day. After careful consideration of all the options we elected to go for a 6 hour walk in Richmond Park.

Britain is known for it's butterflies and we decided to see if we could find some. The flowers are ever changing in the park and we shot them too! Isabella plantation was a alive with a new set of flowers, butterflies and dragonflies. On the way to Isabella we also saw a green wood pecker, rabbits, jays and other birds. We've updated the website at http://www.cherylawarren.com/richm/index.html if you want to see some more of the images.

Hugs-
John & Cheri

August 7, 2009 - An evening in Hyde Park









































Hi Everyone-

Another busy week for both John & Cheri with gray days for most of it. Friday evening brought the first bit of sun we had seen in a long while so we grabbed a quick curry and headed over the Hyde Park. The light was lovely. And, of course, the birds are always active that time of night and we enjoyed watching them. Once the light left us, we strolled around the Serpentine and watched the people!

All the best-
John & Cheri

August 2, 2009 - WWT









Hi Everyone-

We finally got a day of R&R in London! The weather is cool and Fall like, but not wet at the moment! We walked down through Hyde Park this morning and then caught a bus to the London Wetlands Wildlife Trust center to hunt for birds, butterflies and flowers.

Jackpot!

Enjoy!

July 20 - Aug 1, 2009 - Busy Times


Hi Everyone-

We both have been very busy these last few weeks. John went to Sweden for week to test a power plant. As usual, his hard work and intelligence solved the problem and saved the day! Cheri was off to the US for a week and then back for a weekend. She had to be at the National Grid shareholder meeting (AGM) and Warwick for Mon-Wed, then flew to Calgary for the IEEE board meeting returning on Saturday. Whew! Glad that two weeks is done!

Hope you are all well!
Cheri & John
