GUESS what this is… starts with a V, ends with an R, has a B somewhere in there…
and apparently, makes you grow ears!

  1. Wow, that's quite a collection! Are you over there, or just spending way too much time on the internet? ;-) x

  2. Hi Sally, these are my photos (and shaky video) from our trip to Japan in October-November last year. You can find more if you check out the November / December archives of this blog -- and this is only fraction of the photos taken. It was just so amazing! : ) Hope you're going well! x

  3. PS. The Miyuko Ihara photos are from a book I found in Tokyo. Ihara has photographed her grandmother and cat, 'Fukumaru' she found as a kitten, doing things together. There are some great pics there.

  4. Ah yes, I remember you were there last year. Love the photos. You could collate all your hundreds of photos this way! All under different headings: cats, shoes, sushi, transport...
    Love to you and birds and boy. x

  5. I'm so glad you think that about collating photos, too. For I've long had the peaceful feeling that, this way, my retirement days are sor'ed
