Well, I'm back from Japan & now it's time to share pictures!

This picture is at a shrine in the town of Nikko. This was one of our Christmas card photos.

When our tour bus pulled up to this waterfall, we witnessed this female macaque (she has a baby clinging to her back) shoplifting from one of the shops! She is eating her stolen goods and that male is eyeing her. He actually scared her where she spilled some of her trail mix and ran a few feet away. My dad was trying to take pictures of the male. He whistled to get his attention and looked right at my dad! I asked my dad if he got the shot and he said that he hadn't. So I went behind my dad and clapped my hands to get his attention again and he charged my dad - twice! They're scary!

Okay, so story about these 2 pics. On long plane rides, DH & I always seem to have 'interesting' things happen to us. For example, on a flight from London we sat for 10 hours next to this guy (American) who reeked so bad & we took pics of him in the terminal so I scrapbooked it 'Stinky Guy'. Well, now I have a new layout and I'm going to entitle it 'Gross Foot Guy' The seating arrangement on our plane from Japan was 2, 3, 2 and DH and I had the 2 seats together but when it came time to go to sleep, DH decided to take the 2 open seats directly on the other side of the plane. Well the guy sitting in the 3 seat arrangement next to us was settling in to sleep and he proceeded to tie an elastic around his foot and calf and then stick the exposed foot up on the armrest in my direction. So I looked at this as a scrapbook opportunity and DH and I passed the camera over him to get shot from both points of view. You can barely see DH in his picture but he is covering his mouth he is laughing so hard and I'm just plugging my nose!
