Browning's Pool 2010-11-13 Named after the English poet Robert Browning (who called this area Little Venice), this calm spot in London is the junction of the Grand Union canal and the Regents canal. It was a beautiful day for walking along the canal while my spouse was at a convention. Wonderful comments on yesterday's baby elephant. Thanks so much!

Yes they really were that red, especially with the afternoon sun hitting them.
