This summer I've been trying to break a habit of never remembering to ever take photos of anything. That said, I was in Florence earlier in June and went on a hike near Fiesole. A couple miles in, it was brought to my attention that a dragonfly was hitching along for a ride:

I tried to shake it off and it wouldn't budge. Kept walking for a bit and it wouldn't budge. Eventually had to pry it off with a stick (really didn't want to somehow step on it). Gotta say, it was one helluva tenacious lil' dude xD

And yesterday, I was walking along Cheonggyecheon stream in Seoul and there was a grey heron perched along the riverside. The heron flew away after I took the photo, I guess it was a bit camera shy...

That's just about a comprehensive list of the nice (or at least I tell myself they're nice) photos I've taken of wildlife these past couple months, but here are a couple other shots I took while out and about.
