Team Teal Tuesday ~ A Strawberry at Buckingham Palace

Oh, friends, my mom loved British royalty!

So when Carrie and I thought about places to leave

strawberries during our time in England, we knew

that Buckingham Palace had to be one of them.

Carrie and I had planned to visit Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guard. We went. We waited - but about 15 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to take place, someone came out with a sandwich board sign that read "No changing of the guard today." Boo.

I originally put this strawberry on the fence in front of the palace, but it didn't feel right to leave it there. {There were lots of people around there, and...I don't know...it just didn't feel right.} So after taking photos of a strawberry bouncing around in the wind with guards in the background, we walked over to the grassy area near the palace and hung it from a tree.

I love looking at this photo and thinking of my mom. She would have loved that we left a strawberry at Strawberry Field in Liverpool. She would have loved the ones we left at the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. But this one? At Buckingham Palace? I really think this would have been her favorite.

God Save the Queen,

and bless my mom.
