Pigeons
There must be a festival coming because these little aprons were all over statues in the area
My first deer sighting! I was so excited!
Old man deer crossing the street
Baby deer and mommy!!!
I started to realize they weren't kidding with the "tons of wild tame deer in Nara" thing.
I was obsessed anyway.
CUTE
Angry deer
I was obsessed with this view.
Nara is like the ultimate of "ancient" Japan
Just to prove I was actually there. ha
Even though the rain was a drag, it was kinda fitting for the scenery (see mtns).
This area is called the "Deer house"
Shrine stuff
Moss was on everything
This deer was so cute!!!
Rubbing her head on the moss.
Looks like it felt good!
Some deer were quite bold.
Seriously, all shrines look the same
Yet I can't help but take pictures?
In the woods, literally.
Free from most tourists.
Sick deer from smoking too much.
GORGEOUS
Being attacked. haha
On the way to Todaiji Temple
Super bold deer here, since you can buy deer cookies around here. They were hunting.
Todaiji Temple-home of one of the biggest Buddha statues in Japan
There he is
quite impressive, I even bought a postcard.
Guardians on each side of him.
Right before my camera battery died and I had to sit in a bathroom where I found a random outlet to recharge it a bit haha
Another shrine up the hill. I take it back, this one looked a bit different.
View from the shrine.
Cutest baby deer.
