Animals

















1) I noticed this family of black piggies a few days ago, this lot is across the street from the Christian Burial Ground which is next to a small dirty stream running under the local commuter rail, so I see the piggies (including leetle ones) drinking and soaking in the stream a lot 2)a lime-ade stand on the way into town 3)the motorcycle queueue at the gas station at around 6 p.m. on a weekday (at this gas station there are 2 cycle queueueues and 2 car ones) 4) still haven't found the "'chubby n'shiney"filter on this damn camera 5) I was trying to get a dog and water buffalo in the same pic, but didn't quite make it. There are a jillion stray dogs around, they all look similar to this one, lean, handsome, shorthair, with long dog-snouts good for rooting in garbage and turning over rox. Most of them are a dark auburn or reddish brown just like the color of the dirt. I have not once seen human and dog interact, though the dogs are often close to the human tent villages. They eat scraps and I'm assuming they take care of whatever roadkill there is becasue I've never seen any here. There are plenty of random water holes around and I've seen most close by those. During the day they nap under trees or lean-tos just like the people do. There's very often 2 or 3 together and they are obviously friends with each other, but they have their own structure outside of human life. I've seen maybe 4 dogs on leashes the whole time I've been here and 2 stray cats.
