This time we fed the Red Pandas at the Auckland Zoo. More photos at Kate’s blog.  (Last time, Cat Bear)

A yakitori stand in Ueno Park, Tokyo (December 2007). This was the first place I ate Yakitori in Japan.

A Milkweed Butterfly, specifically a Monarch. By happy luck this little fella happened upon my 30 minute test of a Canon EF70-200mm F/4L IS USM Lens. Having F/4 at 200mm is a blessing and the sharpness is a dream. Possibly the sharpest freakin lens I’ve ever shot on.

My friend wandered past my house Saturday morning, dressed for a wedding. I couldn’t help but garner a few shots out of her before she left.
