I wanted to play, too... But only elementary school kids were allowed :C

Yes, Hello! Sorry I've been a little dead, but I'll be posting more photos from my trip to Tokyo soon. :)

Carousels... They remind me of so many things.

So this is the shot I got during my trip to the beach.
No, I didn't actually run into these guys on the beach...

I like the creepy smiles on their faces - hilarious.

But, happy 6th anniversary.

This is pretty different, but I thought a contrast would be nice. This was taken at night in winter, during Kyoto's annual Hanatourou (literally, flower-lantern-road) light-up.
I miss Japan.

Red, originally uploaded by sodiumswirls.

More Oxford homeowner colour-obsession.
You really need to view the enlarged version. It's all in the details... The little old lady in the red jumper, the red painted details (pipes again!), and the neighbouring house, which is structurally identical, but white-washed.

Jericho, Oxford, UK

Purple, Again, originally uploaded by sodiumswirls.

I wonder: did the homeowners paint their pipes purple to match the flowers? Or did they plant those flowers to match their pipes?

You know how people get Winter-depression? I think I'm suffering from lack-of-seasons-depression.

To me, London looks even better at night.

This is Blenheim Palace, Richard! The park and lake on the estate, that is. Like I said, it was a really lovely day when I was there. Miss X - I'm glad I was there with you :)

Spring bulbs gently nod their heads to greet the sun. I think these are Crocuses(?).

Jeckmann, originally uploaded by sodiumswirls.

I don't know about Jeckmann but Berliners (right) sure are tasty. Especially if they're filled with blackforest cherry-flavoured cream instead of strawberry jam!
Compared to these, Krispy Kremes are virtually inedible.

The Sulk, originally uploaded by sodiumswirls.

She asked for the lunchboxes in my hand as I got off the bus. I tried in vain to tell her they were empty. She asked to be bought food. I tried to buy her some fruit - again, in vain because the fruitseller was trying to cheat me.
Behind her are trays of fruit and notably, fried insects. I suppose I'd be sulky, too.
