Eghads, sometimes I really hate my cameraphone (isn't there a bananafone filk of that??), it's shutter speed is abysmally slow.

When this strange creature came closer I tried to get her attention so I get a snapshot of the back of her head *groan*, and shortly thereafter nearly attacked! I never knew that crux thought cameras made tasty hors d'oeuvres!

All too soon the parade (which moved with amazing speed for 1044 attendees!) moved on and I was spared an unpleasant munching.
