setsuled | More Christmas Birds

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone. Here are some crows I saw gathering ominously near Kashihara Jingu Nishiguchi station.

Who knows what secrets they keep?

Here's a more festive bird I saw on another day:

Is he a kind of duck? He was with a group and they were all very squeaky. They kind of remind me of mudhens.

I've been walking a lot more lately, trying to take the train less. It still looks more like autumn than winter.

I saw this little marshmallow of a cat when I was walking with my friend. I was sorry I didn't have my cat treats that day.

Looks like he lost part of an ear. The cats are tough around here.

And the mystery of abandoned gloves continues:

I sure love the trees around here.
