Cats And Plants In Enoshima (2005-06-10)

Believe it or not, Enoshima (kanji) is pretty well-known for its stray cats for reason I don't know.  I guess because there are so many of them?  They seem to be in every corner and most of them are unwary of people.  You can go right up to them to take their pictures or pat them.  On the main shopping street, there is a collection box for visitors to donate money  for operations to neuter and spay stray cats.  There is a mat behind the box on which two large cats dutifully take their nap.  When cats themselves ask you for a donation, how can you not give?

Besides cats, eagles are also plentiful.  They are found gliding and hovering in the sky on the rocky side of the island.  We saw one that flew just above our heads, we caught a very clear look of its body and expanding wings.  It's a magnificient creature!

Knowing me, I also took pictures of some unusual looking plants. Enoshima is a good place to observe nature and its inhabitants.
