Fountains

So anyone who knows me knows how much I love fountains. I think it has something to do with the loveliness of their structure. They are strong, sturdy and yet water which can take any shape runs through it seamlessly. Today I happened upon Russell Square's fountain which seems to bubble up from the floor itself. I was struck but its simple beauty. I decided to sit and watch the city pass by: mothers with strollers, business women, tourists, couples and pigeons. I know what your thinking but you have to see these pigeons with their gloriously colorful heads range from hunter greens, royal purples, electric pinks, and deep burgundys. They even sound different. They have a more guttural, robust sound that shares nothing with the melodic coos we hear in NY. It was really a beautiful moment to be able to take that all in before I headed to the student center for a 5 hour writing session :) Go London!!!
