I don’t mean this as a criticism because it’s not why I visit regularly but your photos don’t make me go “Aww……”. This one did and I enjoyed it. Thank you! 🙂
Lee says
You are very welcome. And yeah, not the usual type of photo I take, but this moment was simply too lovely to miss out on. I felt the same way when I saw them both. But definitely back to less nice subjects with the nest post!

Cute scene with the man and cat which visually stands out because of the turqoise-y background behind the man! 🙂
Lee says
Yes, I really couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop. It allows them both to stand out like you said, and those colours are very common in older parts of Tokyo. Absolutely lovely when things work out like that!
Jenn says
Oh I love it they look so happy together. My perfect Sunday morning! 🙂
Lee says
Yes, they really did. Something they do most mornings I imagine. And as starts to the day go, that’s not a bad one at all.

Lovely. That cat has the size, if not quite the plumage, of Muta from The Cat Returns.
I wonder what they are talking about.
Lee says
Cheers. Unfortunately I fear they may have been discussing how long the strange foreign fella with the camera was going to stand there…

Hopefully not singing…https://bit.ly/2Rrv5xC or at least something more cat friendly.
Lee says
They weren’t, but after watching that video, they may well have been gearing up for a practice session.
Coli says
Beautiful picture. This definitely belongs on a book cover!
Lee says
Thank you. Now that’d make the whole thing doubly nice!
