One of my favorite lakes in Columbia, Maryland is Wilde Lake. The county recently put up information identifying each of the species of trees around the lake. This photo is of a male Cardinal flying away in horror after he read that the London Planetree's ornamental bark flakes off, exposing white, smooth bark underneath

One of the largest of London's private squares, designed and laid out by John Nash, dominated by plane trees said to have been planted in 1817 to commemorate the allied victory at Waterloo two years earlier. Other trees of note include a tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and weeping silver lime (Tilia tomentosa 'Petiolaris')
An original and unique feature of the garden is the Nursemaids' Tunnel, an early pedestrian underpass connecting the Square to Park Crescent. The tunnel passes under the busy Marylebone Road, allowing families to promenade safely through both gardens without worrying about the noisy public throng passing overhead.
The combination of Park Square and Crescent was designed to form a transitional entrance feature to Regent’s Park, leading the visitor from the formal Nash streetscape of Portland Place in the south, to the green and picturesque landscape in the north. It was described as a 'sort of vestibule' to the new royal park. New gates and railings have been installed to original designs.
The gardens retain most of their original Nash layout and have been managed continuously from their inception by an organisation specifically set up in 1824 to carry out this task, the Crown Estate Paving Commission.

Ahh, the greens and yellows of autumn, with our fallen planetree leaves blending in seamlessly with the stolen and vandalized LimeBikes. This "Lime E" had its "E" battery rack stolen, so now it's just a normal bicycle.

Today I had an afternoon appointment in London. From experience I knew I would be sitting for most of the afternoon, so I set off from home early, caught the train to Victoria, then the Number 24 bus along Victoria Street to Parliament Square.
I got off the bus just up Whitehall, and stood for a few minutes, dodging the overseas visitors, and tried to get a few shots of Big Ben. As I turned to walk up Whitehall I noticed how the bark on the Plane trees showed so well in the rain, yet the dry side of the trunks had little colour.
