Stalker

I should have known that if I donned animal prints and posed in the jungle, I would attract a stalker.

My "admirer," pictured below, moved from perch to perch, keeping the fountain between us, but always visible. My pointed stare failed to discourage him. Finally, annoyed with the game, I confronted him. Unfortunately, he didn’t have enough English to understand that I thought his behavior was rude and disruptive. Instead, I managed to convince him that I was shooting photos for a magazine and he was ruining them. He either left the area or managed to better hide from me. Either way, I was satisfied.
