Forgot I also had these.

Forgot I also had these.
Meanwhile, this guy took advantage when I took a break from clearing the front garden and took possession of my garden glove.
It proceeded to try to eat the red piece of plastic.
Could hardly be bothered to move when I got closer, and finally hid in the […]

If my fibre connection breaks, I know who to blame... (I have a backup; it's not as attractive to sit on)

This little guy got to within 30cm or so of me, and kept coming back. That's my house behind; I was just going out for a walk and ended up standing there taking pictures for 10 minutes before I even got onto the street.

Oh, goody, it appears the parrots might be nesting right next to where my new fibre connection attaches to the walls, and it appears to be their plaything.
Given OpenReach has still not fixed my damn Sky connection, 6 weeks later, they better not break […]

A parakeet in London. This guy and another one were sitting in a tree, enjoying an ample supply of berries and throwing the pits at the ground.

Better weather, and a parakeet outside my office window again earlier this week.

Another deer in Nara. This guy was extremely chill, like all of them, as long as you didn't have biscuits.
You *really* did not want to be seen with a biscuit in your hand, though.
They'd watch your hands. Put your hands in your pockets, and they'd pay […]

Cikada above the stairs up to the Chureito Pagoda in Arakurayama Sengen park in Fujiyoshida where we went primarily for the views of Fuji.
I'd never seen them before - just heard the incessantly loud noise. I'd have missed this one too if not for someone […]

Fuji butterfly.
This was on the walk up to the Chureito Pagoda in the Arakurayama Sengen park. We got spectacular views of Fuji from there, but also this guy (and a cikada, which I'll also post a picture off when I find it). I figured I'd post it since I'd […]

Shinjuku, Tokyo, at night.
I try to take photos that aren't all just the stereotypical tourist photos when I travel, but this one is very much super-touristy.
By chance, one of my current clients has a photo that is from *this exact location* on their […]

Tokyo butterfly.
In a back street just a couple of blocks from Akihabara. We only saw a handful of butterflies while in Japan, and I ran after every one to try to get photos. This one was the only one I spotted in Tokyo (granted we only spent time in some of […]

Deer casually strolling back towards the deer park in Nara.
Looks cute.
After having bought cookies for them, you'll know better. The vicious bastards *chased me* and nibbled on my clothes until I'd relinquished the last cookie and proven I was out by […]

Asakusa, Tokyo at night.
One of the most fascinating things to me about visiting Tokyo was the messy wiring everywhere, and especially when contrasted with things like traditional-looking street lighting.
