I spent the afternoon at Kew Gardens - looking mostly at the grasses, but trying to see other parts as well. The gardens are massive! It will probably take me several visits before I am able to see all of the grounds.

Although it was a bit cold and I was a tad underprepared, it was still a very enjoyable outing.

The walk to Kew Gardens...

...is down this lovely residential street...I loved the small areas in front of the houses, so charming, it made me think of Trick-or-treaters.

Drive in...drive out

It was a beautiful afternoon, though a bit chilly.

I learned of a Maple I had never seen! Acer nicoense!

The texture of the samara reminded me of a buck in the fall.

My new favourite flower: the Japanese Anenome

Pumpkins in a row - no Thanksgiving here :(

Holly gumdrops! Holy gumdrops!

Now if you are as ambitious as I was in posting all of these - you can view the next set of pictures, all grasses...(okay, I am posting these tomorrow, due to the time required to resize and label them. And I want to go to bed!)
