Yup food abuse ^^; sorry this post is not vegetarian friendly ^^;
Holiday season means lots of cooking, eating and cleaning, as I was in front of the stove most of the time, these photos are taken by my husband on his NEX 5N with a macro lens ^^/
Taking photos of dollfie dream outdoors is quite a work out ^^;
Usually other than the doll(s), will need to carry camera/equipment and some miscellaneous stuff, I end up putting my doll in a tote bag most of the time since it is light weight – easy to take out / put the doll away quickly without having to struggle and fiddle with zips and closures ^^;
Sorry for the delay in photo updates, I am trying to get over jet lag, a little sickness and gotta finish some work waiting for me when I came back ^^;
Our friends in Japan kindly took us to check out a Matsuri near the area where we had dinner at, it was apparently the last evening of the Matsuri so we were very lucky to catch it!
Went to Shinjuku Koen one of the clear days (25 Nov 2011, Friday) we had, seems that fall is a bit late in Japan this year perhaps?
Or maybe we were hitting the wrong spots LOL! But we managed to see some japanese maple trees turning red ^o^ and it wasn’t super crowded ^^ I am looking forward to see my husband posting his photos of the Koen, I am really liking the photos he take with his camera. ^o^
Before I left for Japan, (I’m back now, with a ton of photos to sort out, jet lag etc… ^^;) had the pleasure of drawing santa outfits for a couple different poses on Jlist’s mascot Megumi chan <3 Please note I did not draw the actual mascot ^^/ Just the santa outfit for 2 poses :3

Also managed to squeeze some work for Danny before we made our way to our trip… (under the cut :P)
on 18th Nov 2011 (friday) we decided to go to a few places in closer proximity within Tokyo, so we got a day pass. We ordered a 7 day JR pass exchange when we were not in Japan yet, but we have not activated it yet as we were intending to use it to get out of Tokyo on the shinkansen.
Getting a 730 yen day pass (which you can get from the ticketing machine — they have an English option as well) was a better option than just blindly swiping our suica lol!
Went around looking for a replacement point and shoot camera, and decided that’s not the way to blow my money ^^;
A couple cameras we were eyeing, cost almost half as much more to buy it in Japan than Canada with the strong yen against Canadian… =_=;;;
