Mostly Monochrome Monday #364


When the summer sunshine returns, we start to long for autumn. Is this because we are envious of what we don’t have, or because we want to hurry on?

夏らしい日差しが戻ってくると秋が恋しくなるのは、人はないものねだりだからなのか、それとも、先を急ぎたがるからなのか。

Lens-Artists Challenge #306: Habitat


There are no new photos in this challenge. All the photos were taken in France, where I used to live.

In the beginning of period I lived there, I didn’t see any squirrels around my place. Some of my co-workers told me that there were plenty of squirrels just next to me even when I was at urban area. It was a challenging and strange message to me. I didn’t see any of them at all. Perhaps, I didn’t have good eyes?

A year later, I was walking in the woods, and suddenly a squirrel appeared in front of me. It was not the acorn season, so it must have been busy collecting food. After this sudden encounter, I started seeing squirrels almost every day. There were a lot of squirrels in the immediate vicinity.

Then, I knew that it was the day when I became a part of that town. I got my own habitat.
