If you like animals St. James Park near Buckinham Palace in London is the ideal place to go to. You can find here the curious squirrels which would like something to eat, pigeons who are so used to people they sit on your arms, beautiful sceneries and a nice walk around the park. We were here during autumn and the leafs had turned in the most amazing colors!

When we walked further I saw a guy really close with one particular squirrel, he was feeding him nuts which allowed me to take pictures from really close, he was just sitting at the fence and eating in peace. The man gave me all of the nuts he was feeding to the squirrel and left, so I got the opportunity to feed him and take pictures from really close, he was just sitting there like a little photo model.

They are so curious, they even invade your personal space and using you as a random tree looking for nuts.

That little guy was pulling his nails in my panty, but I didn't mind.

This pigeon was a little jealous and wanted some food as well!

We walked further and took a rest on a random bench, they seemed to like us(or the food) and begged for more!
