Photo of the WeeK: Gobble

Turkeys? During New Year's week? Unharmed? Yes, and peacocks and a donkey, too.

Photo of the Week: Copycat

Because cat photos. Life with three cats is interesting, but ultimately one of the best experiences I have had. With all their three personalities, every day is something different. But it is indeed Marmite who is the most...intriguing. She is the most territorial, yet she is in herself shy. She is one to dine-and-dash, so …

Photo of the Week: Curious Is the Cat

It's another cat photo, yay! Haha, I met this fluffy long-haired fellow at the weekend in Reading for the Swing Dance exchange. They needed some persuasion, but eventually I coaxed one cat over, where they suddenly showered with me attention. I took a number of this beauty as they walked the garden fence following me, and …

Photo of the Week: Moorchicks

Want more little fluffy things for this middle of Spring? I have you covered! These baby moorhens (and sadly some of the only photos I was able to take this week) are new to the campus lake and followed their mama. Look at that chick standing atop the rock!

Photo of the Week: Farm

The #RUSUsaysrelax farm animals were back on campus last week as a well-needed break from revision. Amongst the cute baby rabbits, turtle, and kids, were these lambs, who attracted a lot of attention. They were soft, and I do like a soft and fluffy animal to pet. 🙂

Photo of the Week: Fluffies

It's been a while, I know. I'm slogging through my dissertation. So. Nearly. Done. At least Spring is officially here and the campus is coming alive. Take, for instance, this snap from the week of our Egyptian Geese - and their new chicks!

Photo of the Week: Nature’s

Back to the days of old when I used to take so many nature photos...back when I consciously had a thought "what should I do for a photo of the day/week?" I guess I'm back, back to my nature roots and the cuteness I find in the world around me 🙂 This is a cygnet on …

Photo of the Week: The Calico

I can only offer a non-explorative, domestic photo fro this week, of a local neighbourhood kitten, with whom I've made friends. I call this energetic bundle of fur Calico, after its fur patterning. Cute little thing, even when it's attacking a defenceless twig.

Photo of the Week: Egyptian Goslings

One of those revision-break walks around Reading lake. These are our Egyptian Geese with this year's goslings. I've seen a lot of goslings in my two years in Reading, but very few young Egyptian Geese. The adults themselves are rather...fearsome, but the young are so cute and fluffy. Well, look at that little gosling!

Photo of the Week: More Cat

This is Smokey J. He is a friend of the family's and so we're looking after him and his house-mate for a short while. Lots of photo opportunities then, hey? I love taking photos of cats (hence the title) - they are so easy to I mean, no they're not - like squirrels, they know …
