Returning home from a Lenten Soup Supper the other evening, we noticed a large flock of creatures around the local IGA Grocery Store (Sprankle's)
They don't seem to be causing any problems.
They seem peacful enough. Hopefully I don't scare them away by getting too close. Luckily I have a nice zoom lens.
Go Blue Devils. Maybe they are here to help celebrate this sports-thing.
Here is one of them up-close. I'm surprised they can walk with those skinny legs.
Alert creatures, but they seemed to pay me no notice.
A number of them are gathered around a central point.
Perhaps they are researching local history?
They are quite magnificant creatures. The uniformity of coloration is almost unnatural. Hmmm...
And they seem to be able to read upside down.
It is uncomfortable when you find them suddenly all staring at you. Perhaps some kind of hive-mind collective?
They are short creatures. Very quiet.
Almost too quiet. Eerily quiet.
While appearing to be social animals, they do tend to keep their distance from one another.
This may be a family unit.
But the occasional creature does wander away to forage.
The two-headed pushme-pullyou did evade any attempt to photograph it directly.
Take nothing but dirt, leave nothing but shadows. Or something like that.
At least they aren't vampires.
Unusually placid creatures, they had no problem with me standing in their midst.
Some people don't appreciate the majesty that is mother nature, and are also too lazy to protest in person.
Many of the creatures have this strange mottling on their backs. Part of that looks familiar for some reason.
Perhaps this "LACA" organization is involved in genetic experiments? Local Animal Changing Association? Whatever it is, it sounds pretty spooky. Actually, LACA is the Leechburg Area Community Association, who do all sorts of fun things to make Leechburg a nicer place to live (like Flamingoing one of the central traffic paths in town) These guys are part of a fund-raiser. $25 to have your own bouncing baby flamingi.
