Adorable Squirrels

Just look at those eyes, those cute little ears...those whiskers! Squirrels are adorable, it's simply indisputable. One of my favourite things about Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens is not only are they brilliant places to people watch, but also home to hundreds of very friendly squirrels. One Saturday I packed some cashew nuts and headed to the flower walk where they were scurrying around playfully jumping from branch to branch. We had a lovely time hanging out with them, coaxing them to jump and climb all over the place (including on us) and in the process I discovered just how photogenic they are! Complete sweethearts, i'll have to pay a visit again soon. 

Steeven in Hyde Park, London

I was wandering around a sunkissed Hyde Park earlier this afternoon,photographing birds and getting up the courage to approach people, when someone actually came up and approached me! Oddly he didn't seem to have an agenda, but was in London on holiday and liked the idea of striking up conversations with strangers. (you have to admire his confidence!) We talked about nonsense for awhile and then parted ways. A very interesting encounter! I really liked his style, preppy with an urban twist. Anyone who wears a bird on his hat gets my vote!
