Urban wildlife at Meanwhile Gardens
A squirrel, two pigeons, a clump of crocus and a lost glove feature in this image.
The garden was originally only envisaged as an interim project hence its name, Meanwhile, but in fact it has stayed the course for over 30 years now.

Canal basin off Paddington Arm
I suspect this small basin may be new, put in for the local residents, as I have been unable to trace a basin here previously

The Canal Restaurant, Harrow Road
This restaurant has a road frontage at 431 Harrow Road. This is the view across the Grand Union Canal. The awnings have been extended recently - maybe it becomes an outside area for smoking.

A Dutch motor-barge at Kensal Town
Moored by the Grand Union Canal (Paddington arm). I identify it as a barge because it has lee-boards, and as Dutch because - well, it looks like a Dutch barge, albeit a small one. Lee-boards are the pivoted structures which - on a flat-bottomed barge - serve instead of a keel, and render the vessel steerable. The port lee-board can be seen in the picture - painted dark red with details picked out in yellow. There's a closer view here: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7011496
No name, either fore or aft, so I'd guess that it's used as a house-boat.
