1993 Thames River Boating -- Thames Views (Plants)
Picture
In 1993, while we were between jobs, we enjoyed perhaps the greatest vacation of our lives. We hired a boat and motored about on the Thames River upstream of London.
Rivers make their own unique environments. The extra water encourages huge thirsty trees like willows. There is usually a lot of undergrowth along the banks. The British have been gardeners for a long time, and the human-created landscaping along the river was magnificent. The lockkeepers are in a competition to have the nicest plantings around the locks and lock houses. The spring season certainly was a time of bursting out for so much greenery and flowers.
