On top of my cooker, lives this monster thing. It goes by the name of ‘oven monster’ and it feasts on the bits of food that get splattered over the oven during cooking (it gets more than enough sustenance when I’m cooking)..

Beware the oven monster!

Boxes of Kleenex at the moment have this fun sheep pattern. It’s cute.

I seem to have let this slip for a week or so.. apologies due for anyone kept waiting. I’m going to try more from now on to post photos that have actually been taken on that day, as opposed to random photos from the past. We’ll see how regular I can make it.

Gorgeous.

I keep on posting photos of L.A. because I’m still sorting through them from my trip there last summer.. so apologies for the lack of diversity but most of my time with any photos at the moment is revolving around these so they’re the only things in my mind. This is the Griffith Observatory, looking out to Downtown.

No-one knows what these buttons do; they just twiddle them and press them in the hope that sights and sounds get transmitted. Occasionally it works. Mostly it doesn’t.

This particular version of a tortoise is notoriously hard to photograph due to their blistering speed and massive shyness so I count myself particularly lucky to have managed this photo. It’s a testament to my patience. That’s what we wildlife photographers are made of.
(*ahem* Marwell Zoo)

The old zoo in Griffiths Park is now a pinic area, and a glorious place to spend an afternoon. After finishing sandwiches and ice cream, we took the liberty of breaking into some old zoo areas to explore.. it’s mostly depressing that they used to keep animals in these cages.

On Bournemouth seafront, by the pier.

From a helicopter, you get to see the Los Angeles that the poh-poh get to see. It’s actually really nice; no wonder they insist on shining big spotlights when it’s dark – they want to see how pretty the city is. This power station however, is quite ugly from any angle.
