Photo of the Day: Beware of Guard… Dormouse

Another one of the whimsical little creatures that call Kamakura’s shopping streets home, this little guy keeps shop along Yuigahama Dori.

This wee creature somehow reminds me of a book a teacher read me long, long ago. I believe it had to do with a mouse (natch) and a giant strawberry. No strawberry in the photo, though I suppose the red flower is close enough.
