You know that look — when a cat’s eyes lock onto its prey. Nothing will break their focus. Their sworn enemies? Cute pigeons, adorable squirrels, innocent bunnies, fluttering butterflies. I love cats because I’m just uncute enough not to be considered prey.

Westminster Cathedral, opened in 1903, serves as London’s Roman Catholic mother church (vs the Anglican St Paul’s Cathedral, completed in 1710). Mary’s Domain is a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, where soft blue tones create a glowing atmosphere of innocence. #Photography #BlueskyArtShow #Glow

At Westminster Cathedral, the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, created in the 1960s, features pale pink mosaics designed in Paris by Boris Anrep and Justin Vulliamy, then crafted in Venice. The pale pink background was chosen to evoke a sense of light and space. #Photography #BlueskyArtShow #Glow

In the Paço dos Duques chapel, the stained glass windows #glow with every shade of light, casting rainbow colors on the floor. A red rope said “don’t” but my photographer said “why not?” I slipped under. The alarm rang for 3 minutes. I’m already red, no one saw me blush.😳

When I entered the Harry Potter WB Studios London (though it’s really in Leavesden — sneaky little WBitses!), I immediately felt possessed by a dark entity.
When I stepped into the vault, I knew who.
This treasure came to me.
My own. My love.
My precious.

Sometimes life hangs by a thread (or a few threads). 👀

There is always a predator lurking in the shadows. 👀

I was told I hadn’t been nice to Paddington a few days ago, but Paddington’s English humour took it well. I won’t make the same mistake with Totoro — I don’t know Japanese humour. So, Totoro is the best-looking furry animal in the whole world!
After Paddington and me.
Obviously.

⚠️ Warning: Graphic content.
My second photographer wasn’t paying enough attention, and I fell from the Tower of London. Immediately, a crow came over. She was afraid to come to my rescue. Crow tried to steal my shiniest parts. I thought it was the end, but luckily, the crow was lazy.

Since the crow incident, I decided to hire two bodyguards.
The angels guarding the Gate of Death in St Paul’s Cathedral looked pretty badass, but sleeping on the job. The two heavily armored beings at the Harry Potter Studios look stronger, but quite slow. Humans? No.

When no one is around yet at St Paul’s Cathedral… just a beaver or two...

It isn’t always sunny in London.
And that’s okay.
There’s always a bit of light behind the clouds.

The Shard, as seen from the top of St Paul’s Cathedral.
Lucky me—I didn’t have to climb all 528 steps!

Paddington is so overrated.
No jealousy here.
Obviously.

I love that Vauxhall Bridge shares its main colour with me. I can't say much about the buildings. Copilot thought this photo was taken in Tokyo (!). ChatGPT got it right: London. Funny how both humans and AIs struggle to say “I don't know”. I'm just a beaver plush, and... I don’t know. #Photography

My main photographer didn’t want to take the 30 millionth photo of the Elizabeth Tower and the Palace of Westminster. But guess what? My big friend Ben — you know, the biggest bell in the tower — wanted a selfie with me! So here’s the 30 million and first photo of them! #Photography
