Day 253: I Love M&Ms!

I love M&Ms!  And these are exotic ones - peanut butter M&Ms!  You can't really get them here unless they are imported so when I spotted them in a shop I wanted them, even though they were expensive - but hey - they're a treat!  They don't show up quite as well as I'd like - a little fuzzy and not the best light, but the best I could do tonight and I didn't have any other bright ideas.  Colour splashing them helped the M&Ms colour stand out and to make the background less strangely coloured and intrusive.  And now I'm done photographing them I get to eat them :-)

Day 134: Starling

I was out photographing random otherness when a couple of starlings showed up to eat the peanut butter we put in this log.  They were only a couple of metres away (unfortunately slightly obscured behind some twigs of a branch cut off our tree) but they didn't care - most likely they are harassed parents looking for a quick meal.  They particularly like peanut butter about this time of year probably because it's quick and high energy.  Don't worry though - it's natural organic stuff with no added salt etc and we got it from the wildlife reserve we were at on Sunday - if they don't know what they're doing there's no hope for the rest of us!

Also - Happy Towel Day!  I know where mine is :-)  (Although I really want one of these so I can always have one with me!)
