I've been seeing a doe with two fawns since the first of the month. At first, she kept the fawns deeper in the woods. Tree leaves and branches spoiled my first shots. I've been hoping that, sooner or later, I'd be able to get a photo of one or both of them in a more open area. I should have known that, sooner or later, one of them would venture into the center garden!

The Palace of Westminster serves as the meeting place for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Informally known as the Houses of Parliament, the Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London.
Sunset was due at 9:21 on the shoot day.

The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames. It was formally opened on 31 December 1999 as a temporary attraction to welcome the new millennium but has now been granted permanent status.
The rim of the Eye is supported by tensioned steel cables and resembles a huge spoked bicycle wheel.
In an effort to attract photographers, the official line is that the London Eye delivers the chance to get breathtaking photos of the city of London. The ride moves so slow which enables one to have ample opportunity to shoot photos and video from all angles.
It is such a shame that a similar courtesy is not extended on the ground where if one dares to set up a tripod, one is quickly escorted off their land by their security. This tripod shot is from the opposite (public) river bank where they cannot stop you.
