Some days it's the animals that catch my photographic eye. None of these represents anything extraordinary or even out of the ordinary. They are just part of daily life in Lima.
Dog on a ledge, Miraflores. Peru is full of dogs: big, small, street ones, posh lap dogs. And people tend to be very dog friendly. This one looked a little forlorn, but also in charge of his territory.
Scarlet Tanager, there are lots of these on the campus where my office is located. They are small, but bright as cardinals, and a welcome sight on a gray day.
Duck graffitti. This is in a funny area. The wall seems to protect a communal garden. It is in La Molina, a fairly tony suburb of Lima, where my office is located. But it is along a road near the Agrarian University, couched between the fancier parts. And along here there seems to be the leftovers of a much less prosperous, hidden neighborhood with odd shacks, dirt alleyways, and much mystery.
