October Sunshine at Hampton Court and Molesey

They come along frequently enough - a beautiful day when you're stuck in the office. Only this time I was asked to take as many photos as possible of the local area around the Palace, Molesey and the river. So I took a wander and ended up capturing views I don't think I'd noticed before which surprised me seeing as I've spent three years walking past all this multiple times every day.
What I especially liked was seeing how people were enjoying their afternoon at Hampton Court, from the couple kissing on the jetty to the girl who was flattered to let me photograph her sketching the river view. Families taking the last trips of the season in the hire boats and a wedding party aboard a river cruiser berthed at the Edge.
Not to mention the wildlife - squirrels eating all the fallen conkers that the kids these days don't know what to do with. Ducks and geese waddling forward in anticipation because a human has walked to the river bank, only I didn't have any food I just wanted their mug shots.
