eating vegetables

  
  
尺取虫 . . . shakutori mushi








yes, mother said
vegetables
are good for you









Sharing food
with a thousand brothers and sisters !

In just one night
they cleared a huge patch of weeds !


This year, they are especially numerous.








:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


As the foodchain evolved,
the crows came in hundreds and had a feast !

And left their white splashes all over the road.




 MORE photos are HERE !

A fantastic photo Gabi! It took me a few seconds to get the right perspective on its head though.

Pretty funny, Gabi! My neck hurts, though, just thinking about getting into this postition . . . then eating at the same time. A lovely photo, too.

Wonderful shot! It took me a minute to find the contortionist's head, too.
