Day 3.243: Freaks of nature

Exile #4 is our prime nature detective - often spotting interesting plants, bugs and animals when we are out and about. Exile #3 does pretty well at that too, but recently she has excelled at spotting things that aren't really there.

Not that she's hallucinating you understand - she just has a good imagination.

For instance, on the trails at the Montshire Museum back on Day 3.231, she noticed an octopus in the woods. We questioned the likelihood, but couldn't really deny the likeness:


However, we were slightly more confused at Phillipinkill when she suddenly stopped and said, "Look - a cat!"  It wasn't really out of the question, but it wasn't actually a cat...


Mouse-over (or click) to see what she was getting at.

    Weird indeed. Was the dead bird real or also looky-likey? Kezia and Exile #3 must be just the right age for this kind of thing I suppose!
